Abstract
The names Werneria melanandra and W. pygmophylla are transferred to the genus Senecio. They belong to the group of the discoid caespitose Andean Senecio, specifically to the subgroup with blackish anthers and style branches and whitish corollas. The recognition of S. digitatus as a distinct species is also discussed. Within the framework of the mentioned group, the names S. casapaltensis and S. macrorrhizus are lectotypified, S. humillimus var. melanolepis is neotypified, an epitype is designated for the name W. melanandra, and nine new synonyms are proposed. An updated comprehensive dichotomous key including all discoid caespitose Senecio species from Bolivia and Peru is provided.

We extend special thanks to Florian Jabbour (P), Hamilton Beltrán (USM), Laura Ihar-legui (LP), and Diego Gutiérrez (BA, LP) for facilitating some type material from the respective herbaria. Alice Tangerini (US) created the illustrations of Senecio melanan-drus and S. pygmophyllus. Mauricio Diazgranados (K), Andrés Moreira-Muñoz (Chile), Rosa I. Meneses (LPB), and Jim Farfán (GLORIA project) kindly shared some pictures of living plants. We are indebted to Pieter Pelser and Liliana Katinas for their insightful comments. This work has been funded by FONDECYT from Chile by means of a postdoctoral fellowship for the first author (project N°3170270).
