Heads (2–) 5–12 (–20) in corymbiform arrays. Calyculi of 2–5+ bractlets (largest to 3 mm). Phyllaries (± 13) ± 21, 5–7 mm, tips green. Ray-florets ± 13; corolla laminae 5–10 mm. Cypselae hairy (especially on angles). 2n = 40.

Discussion

Senecio arizonicus is reputedly in southern New Mexico (W. C. Martin and C. R. Hutchins 1980); that seems unlikely and should be checked.
