Doronicum cordatum Lamarck

Doronicum pardaliances, 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 cm (1.2–1.6 in) across. It is native to western Europe and was introduced to the British Isles, where it was first recorded in Northumberland in 1633.
