Senecio scapioides(Compositae: Senecioneae: Senecioniinae): a new species from the Departamento de Boyaca, in Andean Colombia

摘要

Routine use of the virtual herbarium of the collections in COL (Instituto de Ciencias Naturales de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia) revealed the presence of an as yet undescribed species ofSenecioamongst the material ofSenecio adglacialisandS. leucanthemoides. Following subsequent herbarium studies and fieldwork,Senecio scapioides(Compositae: Senecioneae: Senecioniinae), from the Departamento de Boyaca, in Andean Colombia, was recognised and is described and illustrated; it is compared withS. adglacialis andS. leucanthemoides. Notes on its distribution and habitat, conservation status, phenology, and etymology are also provided, and the distribution of the three species mapped.
