The specimen of Steudner with 5-6 involucral bracts, red florets only 10, and

DOUBTFUL AND UNKNOWN SPECIES OF SENECIO. 
Senecio flavus, Schultz Bip., i.e. S. Decaisnei, D.C., a species closely allied to 8. 
vulgaris, Linn., and occurring in the Canary Islands and the East from Algeria to 
Arabia Felix and Afghanistan, is given in Schweinf. and Aschers. p. 286, as occurring 
also in Nubia. 
Senecio salviifolius, Schultz Bip. in Schweinf. Beitr. Fl. thiop. p. 160, without 
description, from Abyssinia, is unknown to us. 
Senecio sp., incrassato, Guss. aff., Schultz Bip. in Schweinf. et Aschers. p. 286, 
name only, from Nubia, is unknown to us.
