Senecio hohenackeri Sch.Bip., Bonplandia 4(4): 52 (1856). Type: not stated, but in a contemporary listing by
Hohenacker (1856: 55) it was based on Lechler 1905, cited by Weddell (1956: 131) as ‗PÉROU: endroits pierreux

Note: Senecio hohenackeri Sch.Bip. ex Wedd., Chloris Andina 1: 131 (1856) was given in Foster (1958: 217) but
it is clear that in citing Schultz Bipontinus‘ original description Weddell was not publishing a new name.
Cabrera (1985: 198) clearly considered Cuatrecasas‘ taxon the same even though Cuatrecasas had noted
differences in ‗the shape of the involucre and calycle‘, but not what they were. Several collections of Schultz
Bipontinus‘ taxon were cited by Cabrera from Bolivia.
*?Senecio hualtata Bert. ex DC., Prodr. 6: 417 (1838). Types: ‗(Bert.! herb. n. 619) ... Kin Chili (Haenke!), ad
fossas et in locis udis maio flor. circà Rancagua Chilensium quibus ver. Ualtata dictus (Bert.!). ... (v.s.)‘. Note:
Only the Bertero collection is in G-DC; the Haenke material was seen in the material from PR. Foster (1958:
217) listed this species, although the source of this record is unknown. It is considered a Chilean endemic,
and was not recorded for Bolivia by Cabrera (1985).
Senecio humillimus Sch.Bip. ex Wedd., Chloris Andina 1: 104 (1856). Types (except for material of var.
vegetus Weddell did not specify material between varieties): ‗Hab. PÉROU!: au sommet de la Cordillère de
Tabina! (Lechler, exsicc., n o 1924); … – BOLIVIE: pelouses arides des montagnes, autour de la ville de Potosi!
(d’Orbigny, n o 1398; Wedd.).‘ Holotype: P; isotype: G.
Senecio humillimus Sch.Bip., Bonplandia 4(4): 55 (1856), nom. nud.? Note: in translation, Schultz Bipontinus
simply said ‗Then the smooth S. humillimus of similar high alpine appearance resembling several high
Andean Baccharis, …‘ Whether this is acceptable as a diagnosis is debatable. Cabrera (1985: 205) suggested
it was not, and cited publication as in Chloris Andina.
