INULA (ancient name). Compdsitse. Hardy herba- 

 ceous plants of the easiest culture and of rather coarse 

 habit, with heads of yellow or orange, each 2 to 4 

 inches across, borne in summer. 



Herbs, usually perennial, glandular, hairy: Ivs. 

 radical or alternate, entire or serrate: heads large, 

 medium or small, solitary, corymbose, panicled or 

 crowded at the crown; fls. tubular and ray, the rays 

 yellow, rarely white; disk-fls. perfect, their tubular 

 corollas 5-toothed: achenes 4^5-ribbed. — A genus of 

 about 56 species, found in Eu., Asia and Afr. None 

 of its near allies is cult. 



There is such a great abundance of autumn-flowering 

 yellow composites in the hardy border that only those 

 mulas that bloom in early siimmer are particularly 

 desirable. Elecampane, /. Helenium, is probably also 

 cultivated for medicine. A preparation of the muci- 

 laginous roots is common in drugstores. Inula flowers 

 have as many as forty hnear rays. The plants hke a 

 sunny position, grow vigorously in any garden soil, 

 and are propagated by division or seed. 



A, Sts. panicled or corymbose. 



Helenium, Linn. Elecampane. Fig. 1959. Tall, 

 thick-stemmed: Ivs. unequally dentate-serrate; root- 

 Ivs. eUiptic-oblong, narrowed into a petiole; st.-lvs. 

 half-clasping, cordate-oblong: outer involucral parts 

 leafy, ovate. Wet, sandy and mountainous regions. 

 Eu., N. Asia. Naturalized in Amer. — The roots are 

 thick and carrot-like. For medicinal purposes, 2-year- 

 old roots should be dug in Aug. If older, they are 

 likely to be stringy and woody.

 merous: heads S}4^ in. across. Himalayas, Caucasus. 

 G.F. 6:400. — Earliest blooming inula in cult. Bears 

 orange-yellow fls. 5 in. across in June, and has bold but 

 not coarse habit.
