Doronicum is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, known as leopard's bane.[2] They are all herbaceous perennials native to Europe, southwest Asia and Siberia. They produce yellow, daisy-like flowerheads in spring and summer.[3]

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.[4]

Species[1]

Doronicum bellidiastrum Sm. is a synonym for Bellis sylvestris.[5]
