A new species of Senecio from New Zealand

Abstract

Senecio hauwai (2n=60) is described as a new endemic species found only on mudstone cliffs in a few coastal gullies between Lake Grassmere and Cape Campbell, and around White Bluffs, Marlborough. It is most closely related to plants of the S. banksii/S. colensoi complex described as S. colensoi var. lobulatus from the southern end of the range of that complex.
