Senecto perdicioides^ Hook, fil. 
A compact close-growing little shrub, 6 - — 12 ft. in height, apparently confined 
to a very limited district near the East . Cape (North Island) where it was first 
collected, over a hundred years ago, by Banks and Solander, the distinguished 
naturalists who accompanied Cook in his first voyage to New Zealand. It is 
not closely allied to any of the other species native to the country, and can be 
easily recognized by its small oblong waved and crenate leaves, nearly smooth 
habit, and rather small flower heads. It flowers in December.
