Abstract

Previous research has demonstrated that Senecio repangae subsp. repangae and subsp. pokohinuensis have independent evolutionary origins. Here, we therefore elevate subsp. pokohinuensis to species rank: Senecio pokohinuensis. Updated morphological descriptions for both species are also provided.

Keywords: Asteraceae, Senecioneae, Senecio, S. repangae, S. repangae subsp. pokohinuensis, S. pokohinuensis, new combination, taxonomy, Aotearoa / New Zealand
