Scapisenecio albogilvus
 
(= Senecio albogilvus; =Senecio pectinatus var ochroleucus; Asteraceae) 2:364



Scapisenecio albogilvus,
an endemic, is a reasonably widespread native alpine herb, especially on the dolerite mountains. It grows on quite wet, peaty soils. It is related to S. pectinatus and S. leptocarpus, but has entire or almost entire leaves a few cm long and heads with white ray flowers. The leaves are usually in rosettes, but the plant also often has low growing leafy stems which are sometimes slightly woody.
