Leucanthemum (white flower). Compositae. An old group-name for certain perennial herbs now included in Chrysanthemum. The most familiar species of the group is the common white-weed or "daisy" of the northeastern states, Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum (or Leucanthemum vulgare of former works). As distinguished from Chrysanthemum, the genus Leucanthemum differs chiefly in unimportant and inconstant characters of the achene. | Leucanthemum (white flower). Compositae.
