Description

The genus was named after the centaur Chiron, famed in Greek mythology for his skill in medicinal herbs. It is distributed across Europe and into Asia. Until 2004, Centaurium was given a much wider circumscription, comprising about 50 species ranging across Europe, Asia, the Americas, Australasia and the Pacific. However this circumscription was polyphyletic, so in 2004 the genus was split in four, being Centaurium sensu stricto, Zeltnera, Gyrandra and Schenkia. Especially the flower plant originally illustrated by D is the Centaurium littorale . Turner, and was given the exact name of John Scott Lennox Gilmour . The Centaurium littorale covered kahenera Centaurium family Gentianaceae .
