Names
SENECIO rhomboideus Harv. [family COMPOSITAE]
Information
root tuberous? all parts glabrous; stem leafy at base, ending in a long, nude, corymbose or panicled peduncle; leaves petiolate, fleshy, rhomboid or ovate, repand and denticulate, cuneate and tapering much at base, drying thin, closely netted-veined; inv. scarcely calycled, of 8–9 taper-pointed scales, fl…? Founded on a single imperfect specimen, mixed with “ S. subnudus ,” from which the foliage so remarkably differs that I think it must be kept distinct. The fl. heads would seem to be similar to those of S. oxyriæfolius.
