Kilima-njaro, 8500-14,000 ft. 
Folia 12-15 poll. longa, 8-9 poll. lata; petiolus 8-4 poll. longus. Inflorescentia 2-17- 
pedalis; capitula 3-1 poll. lata; bractec inferiores 3-6 poll. longe. 
This noble addition to the genus Senecio Mr. Johnston found growing by mountain 
streams, first appearing at 8500 feet. We have two specimens—one in early flower, in 
which the inflorescence is glabrate and the capitula campanulate, with about 13 involu- 
eral scales; the other lanate, with larger hemispherical capitula, their pedicels at length 
recurved and with about 20 involucral bracts. In habit this species approaches S. gigas, 
Vatke, of Abyssinia, but with very much larger capitula and undivided leaves.
