Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1878 by Henry Fletcher Hance.^[1][2]

When it became understood that Linnaeus's Chrysanthemum, which was typified by a Mediterranean annual species, was distinct from the largely Asian perennial species, these latter, including Dendranthema sinchangense, were initially given names in the genus Dendranthema.^[3] In 1999, the genus name Chrysanthemum was conserved for the Asian species, so the name Chrysanthemum oreastrum became acceptable again.

Distribution and habitat

Chrysanthemum oreastrum naturally occurs in east Asia and is found in far eastern Russia, Korea, and central China, in temperate zones.^[1]
