Doronicum Explained

Doronicum is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, known as leopard's bane.^[1] They are all herbaceous perennials native to Europe, southwest Asia and Siberia. They produce yellow, daisy-like flowerheads in spring and summer.^[2]

Although the genus is often classified in the tribe Senecioneae, there is evidence that a classification elsewhere in the subfamily Asteroideae may be more appropriate.^[3]
