- Comments
- The hybrid betweem P. millefolium and P. anonymous is usually found where the habitat of millefolium grades into less xeric conditions. It is called Senecio x memmingeri, the combination under Packera not having been made (Uttal, L.J. 1984. Senecio millefolium and its introgressants. Sida 10(3):216-222).
Our material keys closest to P. millefolium but does not match the morphology of that species in the heart of its range (NC-SC-GA), where it occurs on completely different substrates and landforms from the Virginia populations. The taxonomic status of Virginia plants is currently under study. - Habitat
