Doronicum pardalianches, known as leopard's-bane, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Like other members of the genus Doronicum, it is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial. It has upright stems growing to 80 cm (31 in), with heart-shaped basal leaves and yellow flowers, generally 3–4.5 cm (1.2–1.8 in) across.[1] It is native to western Europe and was introduced to the British Isles, where it was first recorded in Northumberland in 1633.[2]
