Ligularia (leopard plant) is a genus of Old World herbaceous perennial plants in the groundsel tribe within the sunflower family.[1] They have yellow or orange composite flower heads with brown or yellow central disc florets, and are native to damp habitats mostly in central and eastern Asia, with a few species from Europe.[2] There are about 120[3] to 140 species in the genus, and over half are endemic to China.[4] The name Ligularia, from the Latin for "strap", refers to the shape of the ray florets.[5]

Some species and cultivars are cultivated as ornamentals. Ligularia dentata ‘Britt Marie Crawford’[6] Ligularia x hessei (Ligularia dentata x Ligularia wilsoniana) 'Gregynog Gold'[7] and Ligularia przewalskii 'The Rocket'[8] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[9] They are best grown in fertile, moist soil and full sun, with some shade at midday.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
