Lonas (derivation in doubt; possibly a recombination of some of the letters of Santolina). Compositae. Species one, an unimportant hardy yellow-flowered "everlasting," known to the trade as the African daisy or Athanasia annua.
Leaves coarsely toothed or entire: heads small, in dense terminal corymbs, the fls. all alike; corolla yellow and regular: achene glabrous, angled and 5-ribbed; pappus cup-shaped, making a lacerated crown. The heads are about 3/8 in. across, and composed entirely of disk-fls. There are 14 or more heads in the largest corymb, which may be 2 in. across. This plant was removed from Athanasia largely because it is an annual herb, while the athanasias are shrubs or subshrubs. A more fundamental reason for giving this plant a separate genus is that it has a cup-shaped pappus, while in Athanasia the pappus is absent or consists of small rather bristly chaff or else of hyaline hairs. The plant is of very easy cult.
