Scientific Names

Read about Pericome in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Pericome (from the Greek for around, and tuft, from the tuft of hairs around the achene). Compositae. A small group of hardy perennials grown for their golden yellow conspicuous flowers. Strong-scented much- branched herbs with long- acuminate lvs. and numerous heads in a terminal corymbiform cyme: in- volucral bracts slightly connected by their edges, thus forming a bell-shaped cup: disk-fls. sticky, the anthers much exserted: achenes villous and ciliate.— There are only 2 known species, both of W. N. Amer. The genus is of little horticultural importance and is offered only by dealers in western native plants. The showy golden yellow fls. are not unattractive. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
