- The common names are variants of "'''widow flower'''". Others are given the name "scabious", which properly belongs to the related genus (''[[Scabiosa]]''). The name ''Knautia'' comes from the 17th-century German botanists, Drs. Christoph and [[Christian Knaut]].[https://books.google.com/books?id=6idvRAeex8IC&dq=Knautia+Knaut&pg=PA112 The Plant Lover's Companion: Plants, People & Places] by Julia Brittain
