Krigia. (David Krig or Krieg, an early collector in Maryland and Delaware). Syn. Adopdgmi, Neck. Compositae. Hardy herbaceous plants, annual and perennial, yellow-flowered and sometimes called "dwarf dandelions." Scapose or leafy-stemmed herbs with heads about 1 in. across, usually yellow, and 15-20 pappus bristles. They differ from the common dandelion in having a pappus composed of both chaff and bristles, instead of bristles alone.—Five species natives of the Atlantic and Gulf states westward, of which three perennial species are cult, by dealers in native plants. Unlike the common dandelion these plants do not become weedy. In the southern states there are two annual species, K. occidentalis, Nutt. (Cymbia occidentalis, Stand.), and K. virginica, Willd. (K. caroliniana, Nutt.). The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
