Thulin (Cineraria, Doellia, Emilia, Erythroseris, Euryops, Galinsoga, Gynura, Helianthus, Kleinia, Lactuca, Pentzia, Senecio, Solanecio, Verbesina, Zinnia). [updated by M. Thulin 2008]
Names
KLEINIA scottii (Balf. f.) Halliday [family ], (1988);
Senecio scottii Balf. f. [family COMPOSITAE], (1882). [type as above]
Information
Shrub, 0.2–0.6(–1.2) m tall, compact and twiggy, glabrous; stems densely branched with ± short internodes, ± indistinctly striate-sulcate, 4–10 mm in diam., glaucous, with rounded leaf scars 1–1.5 mm in diam. Leaves fleshy, linear-oblanceolate, up to at least 8 x 3 mm, entire, deciduous, with a hardened often ± persistent base. Capitula cylindrical, few, usually 1–3, in unbranched or sparsely branched clusters on peduncles up to c. 10 mm long; calyculus of 1–4 c. 1–2 mm long bracts; phyllaries 5–7, 7–9 x 1–2 mm, minutely pubescent at the apex. Florets yellowish white, c. 6–8; corolla c. 12–15 mm long, lobes c. 1–1.5 mm long; stigmatic appendages shortly conical, papillose and usually with a tuft of longer papillae. Achenes 3–4 mm long, pubescent; pappus dirty white, 11–20 mm long, slightly shorter to longer than the corolla.
Range
N2, 3
Altitude range
1200–1740 m.
Distribution
SOMALIA Collenette 329; Lavranos & Carter 24809; Thulin 10860.
Distribution (external)
Socotra
Notes
Habli, mirhig (Som.). First record for Somalia of K. scottii, a species previously regarded as endemic to Socotra. Some of the collections treated as K. polycotoma (as K. polytoma) by Halliday (1988) are included here. K. scottii is close to K. odora, but in the field, for example near Dayaxa in N2 where the two species occur together, the small, compact, twiggy plants of K. scottii are easily distinguished from the larger and more long-branched plants of K. odora.
