Pericallis × hybrida
Species of plant / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pericallis × hybrida, known as cineraria,[1] florist's cineraria or common ragwort[2] is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It originated as a hybrid between Pericallis cruenta and P. lanata,[3] both natives of the Canary Islands. The hybrid was first developed in the British royal gardens in 1777. It was originally known as Cineraria × hybrida, but the genus Cineraria is now restricted to a group of South African species, with the Canary Island species being transferred to the genus Pericallis; some botanists also treat it in a broad view of the large and widespread genus Senecio.[4] Some varieties are sold under the trade name Senetti.
