Easily confused with : Tyneside Leopardplant (Ligularia przewalskii) [a plant in the same Genus but that has palmately-lobed leaves which are irregularly lobed].

Not to be semantically confused with : Leopard's-Bane (Doronicum pardalianches) [and other Leopard's-bane plants belonging to the same Daisy Family all with larger flowers and many more petals].

The petals have some similarities to those of : Witch-Hazels in that they are few in number, yellow and very long, narrow and curved.

Very slight resemblance to : Wolf's-bane (Aconitum napellus) but that has totally different pale-yellow flowers in a spike and differing leaves and belongs to the Buttercup Family (Ranuculaceae).

Uniquely identifiable characteristics

Distinguishing Feature :

You are much more likely to find this growing in a garden than growing wild, for it is only found in 3 or 4 hectads in the UK. It escapes into the wild and is to be found in some damp places or in woods.
