Abstract

Two new species of Senecio are described from Peru. One thrives in the high Andes of the southeastern department of Lima and the other one occurs in the lomas vegetation of southern Ica. Both species are compared with the morphologically closest taxa and useful characters for their proper identification are provided. A distribution map, illustrations, and pictures of living plants are also presented.
