Doronicum corsicum, commonly known as Corsican leopard’s-bane, is a perennial wildflower native to the mountains of Corsica and nearby Mediterranean regions. It is distinguished by its large, bright yellow, daisy-like flowers borne on sturdy stems above heart-shaped basal leaves. The genus name Doronicum has ancient origins, linked to classical herbal texts, and many species were once valued for medicinal uses despite their toxicity. As an island-associated species, Doronicum corsicum is notable for its restricted natural range, making it a botanical emblem of Mediterranean mountain flora.
