They include Western Goat's Beard, Wild Oysterplant, Yellow Salsify, Yellow Goat's Beard, Meadow Goat's Beard, Goat's Beard, Goatsbeard, Common Salsify, or Salsify.

Although not particularly closely related to Meadow Salsify or the Common Salsify or Oyster Plant (T. porrifolius), the Western Salsify hybridises readily with both, and in North America its hybrids have given rise to the new alloploid hybrid species T. mirus and T. miscellus.

A synonym, Tragopogon major, may also be encountered.

As with other Tragopogon species, its stem is largely unbranched, and the leaves are somewhat grasslike.

It also grows wild in many places and is one of the most widely known species of the salsify genus, Tragopogon.
