Senecio abrotanifolius L.Pinnate-leaved Ragwort, Eberreisblttriges Greiskraut, Eberrauten Greiskraut, BrenkrautSlo.: abraevolistni grintDat.: Aug. 1. 2015Lat.: 46.44251 Long.: 13.63901Code: Bot_906/2015_DSC8194Picture file names: from Senecio-abrotanifolius_raw_10 to Senecio-abrotanifolius_raw_20.Habitat: Moderately steep alpine pasture, grass patches among scree and rocks, southeast aspect; skeletal, calcareous ground; open place, full sun, exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature about 0 deg C, elevation 2.000 m (6.550 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among rocks.Place: Mt. Mangart region, right side of the upper part of the main ravine of Mt. Mangart's flats, below ez jezik pass, 2.055 m, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Senecio abrotanifolius is an East Alpine - Illyric botanic element. In the West Alps and other European mountains one would search for it in vain. Apart of the East Alps it is limited to northwestern part of the Dinaric Mountains including Mt. Uka in Istria and Velebit Mountains at its most south occurrences. It is one of the flowering plants, which is not a common plant but sometimes appears massively and colors whole mountain slopes. Its large, deep orange-yellow heads reach up to 4 cm in diameter and deep green, shiny leaves are deeply divided. Hundreds of flower heads in large golden patches among white limestone scree and rocks and saturated green mountain grasses form truly marvelous vistas. Mt. Mangart's flats are especially rich in this sense. Genus Senecio is very large. Worldwide there are about 1.500 species known. Among 20 species of the genus, which grow in Slovenia, eight of them climb up into sub- and alpine elevations. All bloom in some shade of yellow. But Senecio abrotanifolius can be easily recognized by its two to three times deeply divided leaves with the terminal segments, which are only about one to two mm broad. In addition, large, deeply orange-yellow flowers heads are characteristic.Ref.:(1) A.

Jenolan Caves, New South Wales -- on rocky limestone ridge above caves in vicinity of Lucas Rocks.This species has recently been subdivided into 9 vars. See Thompson, I.R. (2004) Taxonomic studies of Australian Senecio (Asteraceae): 2. The shrubby, discoid species and the allied radiate species Senecio linearifolius. Muelleria 20: 90-91 [from search on the species binomial in Aust. Index Plant Names, at
www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/databases/apni-search-full.html ]But not having the Muelleria article at hand, I don't know which var. these Jenolan plants fall into.

Ces.Family: Compositae GisekeEN: wood ragwort, DE: Fuchssche Greiskraut, Fuchs-Greiskraut, Fuchskreuzkraut, Kahles Hain-GreiskrautSlo.: Fuchsov grintDat.: Aug. 10. 2008Lat.: 45.28983 Long.: 14.20270Code: Bot_0288/2008_DSC2400Picture file names: from Senecio-ovatus_raw_1 to Senecio-ovatus_raw_10.Habitat: steep mountain slope, east aspect; Fagus sylvatica forest; calcareous ground; in shade, elevation 1.350 m (4.430 feet); average precipitations ~ 2.200 mm/year, average temperature 7-8 deg C, Mountain Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Istria, Uka mountain group, north of Mt. Vojak, almost on top of the mountain ridge above to the road to the top, Rijeka region, Croatia EC.Comment: Senecio ovatus ssp. ovatus is native to central and southeast Europe but it is now naturalized or alien to UK and part of Scandinavia. There are a few very closely related taxa, which differ in slightly in their pubescens, leaf shape and average number of florets in their flower heads. It is not always easy to distinguish them because these traits are all variable. These stands on Mt. Uka, a mountain, which is full of botanical attractions and which dominates (with its 1.401 m height) the whole Kvarner bay of Adriatic Sea and Kvarner archipelago islands, are the largest I've seen.All species od the genus Senecio are seriously poisonous. They contain Pyrrolizidinalkaloides, which are known carcinogen and mutagen substances. Animals dont eat them when grazing, however, if the plants come into hay they may cause serious problems for cattle. Ref.:(1) W.K.
