Chrysanthemum oreastrum is a flowering plant within the family Asteraceae and the genus Chrysanthemum. It is a perennial flowering plant.
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.
