C. JEFFREY
Summary. A list of the accepted genera of the tribe Senecioneaeis given, in the context of which the
necessary nomenclatural innovations preliminary to an account of the tribe for the 'Flore des
Mascareignes', and certain other nomenclatural adjustments, are made. Validly published are the
generic names Dendrophorbium(Cuatrec.) C. Jeffrey, Monticalia C. Jeffrey, Faujasiopsis C. Jeffrey,
ParafaujasiaC. Jeffrey and HumbertacaliaC. Jeffrey. New species are published in Arrhenechthites (1,
Sulawezi), Faujasia (2, La Reunion) and Parafaujasia (1, Mauritius) and new names and/or
combinations in Nelsonianthus, Telanthophora,Roldana, Psacaliopsis, Aequatorium,Jacmaia, Dresslero-
thamnus, Dendrophorbium, Monticalia, Lasiocephalus, Faujasiopsis, Faujasia, Parafaujasia, Hubertia,
Humbertacalia, Kleinia, Senecio (to replace later homonyms), Pseudogynoxys,Emilia, Othonna, Packera
and Iranecio. Some further characters for use in systematic analysis are identified.
SUBTRIBE I. SENECIONINAE
Involucre uniseriate, calyculate; eremophilane and furanoeremophilane
sesquiterpene lactones and pyrrolizidine alkaloids present.
This consists of the only members of the tribe which combine the possession
of a cylindrical anther-collar, polar endothecial thickenings and clavate pappus-
hair apices with a unique chromosome number (n = 36) for the tribe.

The genus is characterized by the microphyllous, shrubby habit and the well-
developed irregularly-margined carpopodia of the achenes. Further synonymy is
given by Cuatrecasas (1981). Some species still remain under Senecio and/or
Pentacalia, under which latter the species were mostly placed by Cuatrecasas as
Pentacalia Cass. subgen. Microchaete(Benth.) Cuatrec.*
