Senecio adonidifolius, S. aquaticus, S. boissieri, S. flavus, S. gallicus, S leucophyllus, S. malacitanus, and S. minutus are lectotypified, and an epitype is designated for S. aquaticus.

Among the available collections at MRAV we Pignatti, 1982; Comes & Abbott, 2001; Calvo & al., submitted) have found two sheets of potential type material. The first contributed to enrich the knowledge of the group, however, this one contains one specimen plus a fragment of basal leaves, area still lacks a comprehensive revision for the genus. For this and the label shows two localities: “environs de Genève” and reason, it is difficult to reach a consensus on the number of “Auvergne”.

This proves that these annotations were added when the spe- cies was already described (12 Apr 1807), and therefore, it seems feasible to relate the collection with the first locality, TYPIFICATIONS Montmorency.
