Doronicum is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, known as leopard's bane.[2] They are all herbaceous perennials native to Europe, southwest Asia and Siberia. They produce yellow, daisy-like flowerheads in spring and summer.[3] The plants typically thrive in cool, mountainous regions and prefer well-drained soil with partial to full sunlight exposure. Due to their bright and vibrant flowers, Doronicum species are often cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens, particularly for early-season color.[4]

Although the genus is often classified in the tribe Senecioneae, there is evidence that a classification elsewhere in the subfamily Asteroideae may be more appropriate.[5]

Doronicum bellidiastrum Sm. is a synonym for Bellis sylvestris.[6]
