Historically, the genus
Chrysanthemum, consisted of
a large number of species of flowering plants. In recent decades,
however,
taxonomists have been busy separating plants that were once
called Chrysanthemum into several other genera. There is still some
disagreement as to the validity of some of these changes, however,
as it currently stands, some of the plants once called chrysanthemum are now
classified in other genera including: Argyranthemum,
Dendranthema, Leucanthemopsis,
Leucanthemum,
Rhodanthemum, and
Tanacetum. |
