This plant is very effective for I didn't see a single Leopard prowling the verges of the A64 to York. There were several patches of Doronicum sp which could be seen from the car but you need a hand lens to distinguish the short/long glandular hairs and a good perusal of leaf shapes to separate the different species of Doronicum. It grows plentifully in the East - Yorkshire in particular but we hardly ever see this introduced plant growing wild in the West.
