Notonia (named for an English botanist, Noton). Compositae. About a dozen fleshy herbs or under- shrubs, of Trop. Afr. and Asia, by many botanists included in Senecio. Heads discoid (without rays); style-branches with ovate or lanceolate papillose extremities: otherwise as Senecio: Lvs. rudimentary or succulent, and the yellow or red heads rather large, solitary or cymose. They are to be treated like kleinias and various succulent tropical senecios; grown mostly as oddities and little known to gardeners. N. amaniensis, Bugler. Lvs. spatulate, fleshy, about 6 in. long and ½ in. wide: scape rising to 4 ft., with 3 or more heads of yellow fls. on long reddish peduncles. E. Trop. Afr. N. Grantii, Oliver & Hiern. (Senecio longipes, Baker. Kleinia Grantii. Hook. f. N. sempervirens, Asch.). Short fleshy glaucescent plant: st. 4-8 in. high from a tuberous root, decumbent, bearing the peduncle at the summit: peduncle scape-like, with a few linear scale-like Lvs. and bearing about 2 or 3 stalked orange-scarlet heads. B.M. 7691. G.C. III. 45:227. If this plant is the same as the Cacalia sempervirens, Forsk., it must then bear the name N. sempertrirens, Asch.
