	~~Describe~~ the plant ~~here~~...		'''''Succisa pratensis''''' Moench also known as Devils-bit Scabious, is a [[flowering plant]] of the genus ''[[Succisa]]'' in the family [[Dipsacaceae]]. It differs from other similar species in that it has 4 lobed flowers, whereas Small Scabious and [[Field scabious]] have 5 lobes and hence it has been placed in a separate genus in the same family<ref>Wild Flowers of Britain and Ireland by Rae Spencer Jones and Sarah Cuttle</ref>. It also grows on damper ground<ref>The Illustrated Wild Flower Finder's Calendar</ref>.

			Its leaves are also un-lobed unlike [[Field scabious]]<ref>Usborne Spotter's Handbook of Birds, Trees, Wildflowers</ref>, and are arranged in opposite pairs. The leaves and plant can be confused with [[Greater Knapweed]] however Knapweed has leaves that are alternate, not opposite.

			It prefers moist soil - damp meadows and woods, lowland heath, marshy areas; but will tolerate drier conditions. Male and female flowers are produced on different heads, the female being smaller<ref>A photographic guide to Wildflowers of Britain and Europe by Paul Sterry and Bob Press</ref>. Flowers from June until October.

			It is a good source of nectar and is the foodplant of [[Marsh fritillary]], whose eggs are laid in groups on the underside of the plant, and Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth [[Hemaris tityus]]. As both plant and invertebrates are rare, their survival relies on careful management of sites containing these species.
