Ligularia (name refers to the strap-shaped more or less bilabiate rays). Including Farfugium and Erythrochaete. Compositae. Perennial herbs, some grown in the open for the striking flower-heads and leaves, but mostly indoors for the large and interesting foliage, or in summer bedding.

From Senecio, to which it is often referred, this genus differs largely in the character of the involucre, the scales or bracts of which are in one series at the insertion but of two forms so that the narrow outer ones overlap the edges of the broader inner ones; also in technical characters of the style. leaves mostly long-petioled, broad or even orbicular or reniform, sometimes palmate, those on the st. smaller and bearing large sheaths: heads large, reflexed or nodding, in corymbs or racemes; ligules or rays mostly long and narrow, usually yellow: achene glabrous, bearing soft pappus.—Species about 30, as now defined, from W. Eu. to Siberia, Himalayas and China-Japan. The plants impose no special difficulties in cultured They are propogated mostly by division.
