Hab. Milanji, 6000 ft. No. 109. 
Habit of S. lasiorhizus, DC., to which it bears considerable general resemblance. 
Leaves mostly from the rootstock or lower portion of the stem, passing into narrow 
almost entire bracts; the teeth tipped with large cushion-like glands ; panicle lax, capitula 
few, solitary, on ascending peduncles, 3-6 inches long. 
SENECIO AURICULATISSIMUS, Britten, sp. n. Fruticosa, scandens, glabra; foliis auriculatis ; 
auriculis magnis, simplicibus, integris, ovato-cordatis, amplexicaulibus, 3-1 poll. 
longis; lamina 1-2 poll. lata, e basi cordata obreniformis, apice late depresso vel eroso, 
crenato-dentato, dentibus latis obtusis truncatis, subtus pallida, venis conspicuis; 
inflorescentia laxe corymbosa ; pedunculis bracteolatis, bracteolis subulatis; florum 
marginalium tubus 2 lin. longus, ligula 3-4 lin. longa; capitula late campanulata. 
Hab. Milanji, No. 83; also from Makua country (J. 7. Last, 1887) and Shiré Highlands 
(Buchanan, 1881). 
Well distinguished by the very large auricles, which are often cordate at the base, 
assuming a 2-lobed appearance, through which the petiole is continued; the upper leaves 
are sometimes reduced to their auricles. I have not found ripe achenes, but Prof. Oliver 
places the plant in Senecio (Herb. Kew); it has the habit of some climbing Cinerarias.
