Abstract
Three new species belonging to the tribe Senecioneae Cass. are recorded for the first time in Bolivia: Senecio jujuyensis Cabrera, Senecio moqueguensis Montesinos, and Werneria microphylla H.Beltrán & S.Leiva. Taxonomic discussions and distribution notes are provided for each species, as well as illustrations when available.
Highlights
The Andes of South America are a noteworthy center of generic diversity and speciation of the tribe Senecioneae Cass. (Compositae Giseke) (Nordenstam & al. 2009)
In Bolivia this tribe is represented by 14 genera, excluding Culcitium Bonpl. and Lasiocephalus Willd. ex Schltdl., that are widely accepted as a part of Senecio L. (Pelser & al. 2007; Calvo & Freire 2016; Salomón & al. 2018)
The genus Werneria Kunth is represented by 18 species (Calvo & al., unpublished)
Summary
The Andes of South America are a noteworthy center of generic diversity and speciation of the tribe Senecioneae Cass. (Compositae Giseke) (Nordenstam & al. 2009). Se citan por primera vez en Bolivia: Senecio jujuyensis Cabrera, Senecio moqueguensis Montesinos y Werneria microphylla H.Beltrán & S.Leiva. On-going studies of this tribe in the Andes have led us to record three new species for Bolivia: Senecio jujuyensis Cabrera, Senecio moqueguensis Montesinos, and Werneria microphylla H.Beltrán & S.Leiva. This contribution is the result of an intensive review of the published bibliography, field work, and the revision of specimens kept at BOLV, LPB, MA, and USM.
