The genus Senecio L. is reviewed based on the literature and available herbarium materials. A synopsis and identification key is provided to the 22 accepted taxa. Diversity centers and distribution maps of Senecio species in Iran are presented. Also the checklist of accepted species and synonyms including selected studied specimens are given. Furthermore, Senecio erucifolius subsp. erucifolius which has been collected from Azerbaijan province is reported as a new subspecies to Iran. This subspecies is compared with closely related subspecies S. erucifolius subsp. grandidentatus.

ISSN 2153 733X BARCODING THE ASTERACEAE OF TENNESSEE, TRIBE SENECIONEAE EDWARD E. SCHILLING AND AARON FLODEN Herbarium TENN Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Results from barcoding studies of tribe Senecioneae for the Tennessee flora using data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS marker region are presented and include first complete reports of this marker for 3 of the 15 species of these tribes that occur in the state. Sequence data from the ITS region separated all Tennessee species of Arnoglossum , Erechtites , Hasteola , and Rugelia (all of which are native) from one another and from other, non-Tennessee congeners. In contrast, many of the species of Packera , both from the state and from other parts of the southeastern USA, had basically identical ITS sequences. The contrast in the distinctiveness of Arnoglossum species compared to those of Packera suggests the two genera have had different histories of introduction and diversification in southeastern North America. Tribe Senecioneae is one of the largest in Asteraceae and with a worldwide distribution has had the opportunity to diversify in many different regions. The boundaries and circumscription of the tribe have, however, changed over the past few decades, and its generic level circumscription is still being settled (Nordenstam et al. 2009; Pelser et al. 2007, 2010). Notable is the problem of the circumscription of the huge Senecio (ca. 1000 species), but changes have also affected other genera from the southeastern USA, most notably the recognition of Arnoglossum and Hasteola as distinct from Cacalia (Anderson 1974).

Key words: Compositae, Sichuan, synonymy, taxonomy Introduction Ligularia emeiensis Kitamura (1991: 148) was described on the basis of three gatherings, J. Murata 11571 (KYO; Fig. 1A), W.P. Fang 15048 (KUN, KYO, PE, SZ; Fig. 1B, C) and C.L. Chow 6943 (KYO, SZ; Fig. 1D), all from Emei Shan, Sichuan, China, with the first designated as the holotype. In the protologue, the author gave only a full Latin description for his new species, not noting its affinity. Since its publication L. emeiensis has been totally overlooked by later authors. Even in their account of the genus Ligularia Cassini (1816: 198) for the Flora of China, Liu & Illarionova (2011) did not treat it.

Senecio vulgaris L. is a particularly noxious weed in agricultural and horticultural crops due to its content of toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Since some of these compounds are carcinogenic, the distribution of this plant should be monitored. The amount of PAs in S. vulgaris is affected by various factors. Therefore, we investigated the occurrence of PAs depending on the developmental stage and season. A systematic study using field-plot experiments (four seasons, five developmental stages of the plants: S1 to S5) was performed and the PA concentration was determined via LC-MS/MS analysis.

    Supplement to the Systematics of the Heliantheae (Compositae)

    Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica Volumen XIX, N? 1-2 (Julio 1980), págs. 25-32 SUPPLEMENT TO THE SYSTEMATICS OF THE HELIANTHEAE (COMPOSITAE) Por TOD F. STUESSY2 Since the completion of a revised subtribal classification of the tribe Heliantheae (Stuessy, in press) for the Reading Symposium on the Compositae in July of 1975, a number of new papers have been published on the systematics of the tribe. This new informa¬ tions falls into four general categories: (1) speculations on relation¬ ships among the newly recognized subtribes; (2) addition of a new subtribe; (3) additions of new genera; and (4) new generic transfers. The purpose of this paper is to review these new developments and comment on their significance for the systematics of the Heliantheae. RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE NEWLY RECOGNIZED SUBTRIBES An important new overview of relationships among the sub¬ tribes of the Heliantheae has been provided by Baagoe (1977) by use of ligule microcharacters. This contribution is especially valuable, because the manuscript on the Heliantheae for the Reading Sympo¬ sium (Stuessy, in press) was available to Dr. Baagoe during her study, and she was able to relate the new data to the subtribal clas¬ sification of the tribe. Many specific comments on relationships are contained in her paper, but this review will focus only on some of the broader implications. Before these are examined, however, a few cautions need to be raised. 1 It is a pleasure to dedicate this paper to Dr. Angel L. Cabrera, one of the outstanding synantherologists of the world, and the unqualified authority on South American Compositae.

PhytoKeys 149: 89–98. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.149.52297 Abstract Senecio festucoides is described from northern Chile. The new species is morphologically similar to the discoid caespitose Andean species and belongs to the subgroup displaying yellow corollas and yellowish anthers and style branches. It is characterized by a weak, not self-supporting stem, narrowly linear leaves, long pedunculate capitula with (17–)21 involucral bracts, and minutely papillose achenes. Among other characters, the color of the corollas, anthers, and style branches and the number of involucral bracts dif- ferentiate it from S. scorzonerifolius, which is the morphologically closest species. The new species thrives in the desertic Puna ecoregion and grows amongst tufts of Festuca chrysophylla (Poaceae). Detailed pictures of living plants are provided, as well as a distribution map and a dichotomous key to the discoid caespitose Senecio species from northern Chile.

    Research on Spontaneous and Subspontaneous Flora of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou

    Volume 19(2), 176- 189, 2015 JOURNAL of Horticulture, Forestry and Biotechnology www.journal-hfb.usab-tm.ro Research on spontaneous and subspontaneous flora of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou Szatmari P-M*.1,, Căprar M. 1 1) Biological Research Center, Botanical Garden “Vasile Fati” Jibou, Wesselényi Miklós Street, No. 16, 455200 Jibou, Romania; *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract The research presented in this paper had the purpose of Key words inventory and knowledge of spontaneous and subspontaneous plant species of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou, Salaj, Romania. Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11].
