This is the sandbox for the changings on the wikipedia article of Safflower

In the introduction instead of Safflower '', Carthamus tinctorius, is a highly branched, herbaceous, thistle-like annual plant. It is commercially cultivated for vegetable oil extracted from the seeds and was used by the early Spanish colonies along the Rio Grande as a substitute for saffron. Plants are 30 to 150 cm (12 to 59 in) tall with globular flower heads having yellow, orange, or red flowers. Each branch will usually have from one to five flower heads containing 15 to 20 seeds per head. Safflower is native to arid environments having seasonal rain. It grows a deep taproot which enables it to thrive in such environments.''

our suggestion is:

Safflower (Carthamus Tinctorius) also known as American saffron or bastard saffron, is a plant species of the family of the Asteracea. It is native to parts of Asia and Africa, from central India through the Middle East to the upper reaches of the Nile river and into Ethiopia. It is mainly cultivated for vegetable oil extracted from the seeds and formerly has been used as a dye plant. Safflower has also been used as an adulterant of the condiment saffron.
