Leuzea (De Leuze, friend of DeCandolle, who founded the genus). Compositae. A few perennial or biennial herbs with simple 1-headed sts., one of which is sometimes planted in herbaceous borders or rock-gardens. By some the genus is referred to Centaurea, becoming a section of that genus distinguished by the feather-like pappus in several rows and which is connate at base and falls as a ring. Plants unarmed: leaves radical, or alternate if cauline, dentate or pinnatifid, white-tomentose beneath: flowers purple, in large and showy heads, the corolla regular or slightly oblique, the tube long and slender; style-branches very short; involucre ovoid or subglobose, the bracts in many series: heads homogamous.—-Species probably 5 or 6, widely distributed; Eu., N. Afruits, Austral. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
