Delairea aparadensis is a species of plant in the family Asteraceae that is native to Brazil and was described in 2021.[2][3]
Field work took place in southern Brazil from 2008 to 2020, where, in the latter year, a group of a scandent species of Senecioneae were discovered. The species looked morphologically distinct from the Brazilian native members of the Senecioneae tribe that are present in South America and were more comparable to those in southern Africa.[2]
The 2021 report confirmed that the rambling species matched an undescribed species of Delairea (previously a monospecific genus), due the climbing habit, discoid flowers and the leaves' succulent nature.[2]
