{{Inc| Lonas (derivation in doubt; possibly a recombination of some of the letters of Santolina). Compositae. Species one, an unimportant hardy yellow-flowered "everlasting," known to the trade as the African daisy or Athanasia annua. Leaves coarsely toothed or entire: heads small, in dense terminal corymbs, the fls. all alike; corolla yellow and regular: achene glabrous, angled and 5-ribbed; pappus cup-shaped, making a lacerated crown. The heads are about 3/8 in. across, and composed entirely of disk-fls. There are 14 or more heads in the largest corymb, which may be 2 in. across. This plant was removed from Athanasia largely because it is an annual herb, while the athanasias are shrubs or subshrubs. A more fundamental reason for giving this plant a separate genus is that it has a cup-shaped pappus, while in Athanasia the pappus is absent or consists of small rather bristly chaff or else of hyaline hairs. The plant is of very easy cult. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
