G'day, Everyone --
I have been trying to follow this thread but I may be missing something.
Or don't understand.  I even looked up the pictures.
I'm confused.  Is Senecio another name for Groundsel?
To add to my confusion, this summer I purchased a Senecio - Ligularia dentata
"desdemonia."
It has large roundish leaves - green on top & burgundy on bottom.
Its supposed to have large, orange, daisy-like flowers July & August.
I take it this is nothing like the Senecio Groundsel.
What does Senecio refer to that relates to both cases?
Is this a time when Latin names would clarify things??
Thanx for any clarification you can help me with.
