Bupleurum sintenisii, known as dwarf hare's ear, is a tiny annual herb of the carrot family (Apiaceae) native to dry, rocky sites in eastern and southeastern Cyprus. It is rarely grown in gardens; the key to growing it is mimicking its sunny, lean, well-drained native habitat.
Bupleurum sintenisii is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae. It is referred to by the common name dwarf hare's ear, and is an annual herb, 1–5 cm (0.4–2.0 in) high, hairless and glaucous. Leaves alternate, simple, entire, linear, 10–20 x 0.5–1.5 mm. The inconspicuous flowers are yellowish to brownish and crowded in umbels. Flowers from May to July. The fruit is a dry schizocarp, covered by hooded bristles.
It grows in dry rocky sites with sparse garigue vegetation at 100–200 m (330–660 ft) altitude.
