Senecio gallicus
Also called Southern ragwort
Senecio gallicus, an annual plant of the genus Senecio and family Asteraceae, is a species that colonizes isolated habitats with difficult environmental conditions. It is widespread across southern France and the Iberian Peninsula in deserts and xeric shrublands, on steppes and salty dry coastal plains. S. gallicus is playing a predominant role in shaping patterns of genetic structure by presenting models of historical associations among population rather than patterns of ongoing gene flow.
Specimens of Senecio gallicus have been collected at altitudes of 15 metres (50 ft) and 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) above sea level.
