Description

Le Grand Muflier, Muflier à grandes fleurs, Gueule-de-loup ou Gueule-de-lion (Antirrhinum majus) est une plante herbacée ou arbustive vivace de la famille des Scrofulariacées selon la classification classique ou des Plantaginacées selon la classification phylogénétique. Elle est originaire du bassin méditerranéen. Antirrhinum majus (common snapdragon; often - especially in horticulture - simply "snapdragon") is a species of flowering plant belonging to the genus Antirrhinum. The plant was placed in the family Plantaginaceae following a revision of its prior classical family, Scrophulariaceae. The common name "snapdragon", originates from the flowers' reaction to having their throats squeezed, which causes the "mouth" of the flower to snap open like a dragon's mouth. It is widely used as an ornamental plant in borders and as a cut flower. It is usually cultivated once a year. The species has been in culture since the 15th century.
