SENECIO paniculatus Drege [family COMPOSITAE], litt. c. (excl. litt. a. and b.)
Information
suffruticose at base, nearly or quite glabrous; stem slender, angle-striate, diffusely branched, ascending-erect; leaves distant, narrow-linear, acute, with revolute margins, entire; pedunc. terminal, long, filiform, sparsely scaly, one-headed; inv. shortly calycled, of about 20 acute scales; disc-fl. 40–50; rays 10–12, revolute; achenes puberulous. Perhaps 2 ft. high, laxly branched, very slender, with sparse foliage. Leaves 1 1/2 inch long, 1/4–1 line wide, either completely revolute at edges, and thus filiform, or flattish, with the margin reflected, and sometimes minutely callous denticled. Pedunc. 5–8 inches long, pale. Inv. 3–4 lines long, shorter than the disc; rays yellow, strongly revolute. Calycle not a line long.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA Hexrivierskloof and Zuureberg, betw. Enon and Driefontein, Drege! Uitenhage, Zey.! (Herb. Hk., Sd.)
Notes
Drege seems to have confounded more than one species under his “ S. linariæfolius; ” the plant so named in Hb. Sond. is different from that here described, and may belong to S. Burchellii. Whether our plant be identical or not with S. linoides, DC., I cannot say.
