Scapisenecio is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to south-eastern Australia, particularly Tasmania.[2] The genus was established in 2020.[1]
Species of the genus Scapisenecio are rhizomatous or stoloniferous herbaceous plants. Their fully developed leaves are located close to the base of the plant, often in a rosette. The flowering heads are borne on stems with smaller leaves, usually one flower head per stem. The ray florets are yellow or more rarely white.[3]
