Doronicum orientale

Doronicum orientale, the Oriental leopard's bane, is a European plant species in the family Asteraceae.

Doronicum orientale is a perennial herb that has daisy-like yellow flower heads on long, straight stems, which attract nectar-eating insects.

The basal foliage is bright green with cordate leaves that have scalloped margins.

It is native to southeastern Europe (Italy, Greece, the Balkans, Hungary, Moldova, Ukraine, southern European Russia)[3][4] and parts of southwest Asia (Turkey, South Caucasus).

[7] There are a few reports of the species having escaped cultivation and been found growing wild in parts of Canada, but the plant apparently failed to become established there.
