From the enchanting Blue flowered wild succory to the delicate Swines succory and the resilient Rough succory hawkweed, these species offer a diverse range of beauty in nature. One fascinating member of this family is the Gum succory species, scientifically named Chondrilla juncea. Its unique gum-like texture adds an intriguing element to its appearance. Meanwhile, various varieties of wild chicory within this genus showcase different shades and patterns, each contributing to the charm of this plant family. The most common variety among them all is Common chicory (Cichorium intybus), which can be found in many regions worldwide.
