Rarely subshrubby: lvs. alternate, entire or lobed, numerous: heads discoid, the florets commonly all fertile, not very showy; involucre cylindrical or somewhat bell-shaped, the narrow bracts in about 1 series: achene narrow, 5-10-striate, with copious slender white pappus-bristles. The gynuras are attractive glasshouse herbs, usually requiring a moderately high temperature; prop, by cuttings. Genus allied to Senecio and Cineraria; of about 40 species in Trop.
