Bupleurum falcatum, also known as sickle-leaved hare's-ear, sickle hare's ear and sickle-leaf hare's ear, is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae.
It is endemic to Europe and Western Asia.
In East Asia, the scientific name Bupleurum falcatum is often misapplied to another species, Bupleurum stenophyllum.
Bupleurum falcatum has been found to possess antidepressant properties, mediated through the serotonergic & noradrenergic systems (although the precise mechanism remains to be found).
