Description
Summary:The name Senecio L. ser. Chilenses DC. ex M. G. Lopez, A. F. Wulff & Xifreda is here validated to replace Senecio ser. Suffruticosi Cabrera, non Senecio sect. Suffruticosi Greenm. Although the epithet Suffruticosi was published at different infrageneric ranks within Senecio (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) for two different taxa from South and North America, respectively, the two epithets are considered homonyms. Series Chilenses was previously published by de Candolle, but without a description.
