Ligularia (leopard plant) is a genus of Old World herbaceous perennial plants in the groundsel tribe within the sunflower family.

[3] 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.

[4] There are about 120[5] to 140 species in the genus, and over half are endemic to China.

[6] The name Ligularia, from the Latin for "strap", refers to the shape of the ray florets.

[11] They are best grown in fertile, moist soil and full sun, with some shade at midday.
