Taxonomy & Nomenclature

Synonyms: Senecio capillaris Gaudich. in Voy. Uranie: 468 (1830); Luteidiscus capillaris (Gaudich.) H.St.John in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 94: 553 (1974); Tetramolopium bennettii Sherff in Bot. Gaz. 95: 498 (1934)

Conservation Status

Missing (Wood et al., 2019:14) or Rediscovered (Humphreys et al., 2019)

Last record: early 1990's (Oppenheimer & Pezzillo, 2024:57); 2001 (USFWS, 2016); 2006 (Wood et al., 2019:14)

The species was reported as rediscovered based upon a specimen collected on Maui on 16 September 1993 (Herbst & Wagner, 1996:10), likely on the basis of its geographical origin (Oppenheimer & Pezzillo, 2024:57), but this specimen has since been re-identified as T. filiforme as a new island record (Oppenheimer & Pezzillo, 2024:57).
