Taxonomy

A description of the species was first published in 1838 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle using the name Senecio velleioides, which de Candolle attributed to Allan Cunningham.[1] A 2020 molecular phylogenetic study of Australian species placed in the tribe Senecioneae found that Senecio velleioides was part of a clade containing Lordhowea insularis that was clearly distinct from other Senecio species, both genetically and morphologically. Accordingly, the authors of the 2020 study expanded Lordhowea to include S. velleioides.[4]
