Nigella ciliaris, the pinwheel nigella or ciliate love-in-a-mist, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae. It is native to Cyprus and the Levant. A therophytic annual reaching 25 to 35 cm (10 to 14 in), it is typically found in the garrigue. It is occasionally cultivated for its pinwheel-like yellow flowers and its dramatic, long-lasting seedheads.
