Chrysanthemum zawadzkii (or Dendranthema zawadzkii) is a species of short perennial herb in the family Asteraceae. Genus name comes from the Ancient Greek words chrysos meaning “gold” and anthemon meaning “flower”. Specific epithet was named after Alexander Zawadzki (1798-1868), Polish botanist and naturalist, by Franz Herbich (1791-1865) who discovered this plant growing in the Pieniny Mountains (Western Carpathians) in 1829 and subsequently first described it in 1831. In temperate Asia it is found in Mongolia, Northern China, Siberia, Korea and Japan. It flowers from July to September.
