Senecio crassifolius, Willd. Native of the shores of 

 the Mediterranean. Recorded once or twice in waste 

 ground in England. 



Senecio Doria, L. Native of meadows and marshes in

Senecio sagittatus, Sch. Bip. A native of woods in

 escaped from some neighbouring garden. 



[Senecio sarracenicus, L. Native on river banks in 

 some parts of Britain, but in most of its localities

 Denmark in similar localities to those mentioned 

 above, there is no reason to doubt that it is native 

 in Britain, though it may probably be rare in that 

 state.] 



Senecio squalidus, L. Probably a native of Sicily, 

 where it grows profusely on the volcanic sands. It is 

 supposed to have been introduced into the Oxford

 its ground, but rapidly spreading along railway banks, 

 roadsides, and other waste ground. 



Senecio vernalis, Waldst. and Kit. A native of sea 

 sands and of rocky mountain slopes in the south-east
