Linosyris (Linum and Osyris, which genera it resembles). Compositae. One species, L. vulgaris, Cass., Goldilocks, of Eu., is a good hardy perennial, growing ½ to 2 ft. high, and bearing numerous small pale yellow usually rayless heads: sts. strict (from a hard root), striate, glabrous, bearing many alternate, small, linear, entire lvs.: involucre imbricated, the numerous narrow bracts shorter than the florets and pappus: achene compressed and silky. The plant grows natively in rocky and stony places and along gravelly banks of rivers in England, Wales, and through Cent, and S. Eu. to the Caucasus. It is an excellent late summer and fall bloomer, thriving well in any good garden or border. Prop, by division. The genus Lynosyris is referred to as Aster by many botanists, the above species then becoming Aster Linosyris, Bernh. It is also known as Chrysocoma vulgaris, Linn. Horticulturally, it is distinct, with its yellow heads and peculiar habit. From Aster it differs technically in the absence of rays and in yellow flowers, but rayed heads are sometimes found. In this work, the yellow-flowered asters are kept distinct in this genus and Calimeris. As usually separately defined, Linosyris contains several species.
