Venidium decurrens, Less. Diffuse canescent perennial, 1-2 ft. long: lvs. mostly lyrate, the terminal lobe ovate or roundish, sinuate-lobed or repand, at first cobwebbed, afterward nude and punctate above, white-tomentose beneath; petiole 2 – 2 1/2 in. long, amply eared at base, the ear decurrent along the st.—The type does not seem to be cult. but the following variety is offered as a half-hardy garden annual with dark-centered sunflower-like golden yellow heads 1 – 2 1/2 in. across:

Var. calendulaceum, Harvey (V. calendulaceum, Less.), differs in having the petioles not eared at the base or with only a small ear. R.H. 1857, p. 123. Gn. 21, p. 405. G. 5:345.—Opinions differ as to its merits, and it is variable in quality. Some consider it coarse and weedy. In pots it does well; for spring bloom, sow in Aug. to Oct. in a frame in light soil and prick off into pots; if well grown it is very free-flowering.
