Petersh. 1835. p. 31. 
Drawn in September, 1836, from plants which flowered 
in the open border of the Glasgow Botanic Garden. The 
seeds were received from Dr. Fiscuer, who founded the 
Genus (a native of Ross, in New California) in the work 
above quoted. Its affinities, according to that author, are 
with Hetenrum, Buerapnorappus, Picrapenia, LasTHenta, 
and, in some respects, with Doronicum : but it is suffici- 
ently distinct from all. 
Descr. 
* uadnros, beautiful, and xox, colour, in allusion to its bright yellow flowers.
