Delairea aparadensis is a species of plant in the family Asteraceae that is native to Brazil and was described in 2021. [2] [3]
Field work took place in southern Brazil from 2008 to 2020, where, in the latter year, a group of a scandent species of Senecioneae were discovered. The species looked morphologically distinct from the Brazilian native members of the Senecioneae tribe that are present in South America and were more comparable to those in southern Africa. [2]
The 2021 report confirmed that the rambling species matched an undescribed species of Delairea (previously a monospecific genus), due the climbing habit, discoid flowers and the leaves' succulent nature. [2]
A rambling subshrub and a perennial herb growing around 40 cm to 150 cm tall, it features erect, glabrous, foliose, green stems with toothed, veined leaves which decrease in size towards the apex, and yellow discoid flowers. D. aparadensis is distinguished from D. odorata by its deltoid leaves, being a rambling subshrub (whereas D. odorata is a vine) and its inflorescences made up by cymes of 2–6 capitula (as opposed to dozens of capitula in D. odorata). Flowers appear in March in the region, or early autumn. [2]
The species is found in Southern Brazil in regions such as, Aparados da Serra National Park, Morro da Igreja, in São Joaquim National Park, and at Urubici in Santa Catarina, where it is present in cloud forest environment, at elevations of 1700–1800 m. Critically endangered, it is found roughly in area of occupancy of less than 1 km2 due to the agricultural spread in Santa Catarina. [2]
Tradescantia is a genus of 85 species of herbaceous perennial wildflowers in the family Commelinaceae, native to the Americas from southern Canada to northern Argentina, including the West Indies.

Gerbera L. is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae (Compositae) family. The first scientific description of a Gerbera was made by J. D. Hooker in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1889 when he described Gerbera jamesonii, a South African species also known as Transvaal daisy or Barberton daisy. Gerbera is also commonly known as the African daisy.
Myrrhis odorata, with common names cicely, sweet cicely, myrrh, garden myrrh, and sweet chervil, is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the celery family Apiaceae. It is the only species in the genus Myrrhis.
Butia is a genus of palms in the family Arecaceae, native to the South American countries of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. Many species produce edible fruits, which are sometimes used to make alcoholic beverages and other foods. The name is derived from a Brazilian vernacular word for members of the genus.
Chromolaena odorata is a tropical and subtropical species of flowering shrub in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the Americas, from Florida and Texas in the United States south through Mexico and the Caribbean to South America. It has been introduced to tropical Asia, West Africa, and parts of Australia.
Pladaroxylon is a genus of trees in the tribe Senecioneae within the family Asteraceae.
Desmoncus is a genus of mostly climbing, spiny palms native to the Neotropics. The genus extends from Mexico in the north to Brazil and Bolivia in the south, with two species present in the southeastern Caribbean.
Delairea is a genus of flowering plants within the family Asteraceae. Currently, it only features two species: Delairea odorata from Southern Africa, and the recently discovered Delairea aparadensis from Southern Brazil, which is critically endangered. D. odorata formerly belonged to the genus Senecio as Senecio mikanioides.
Delairea odorata is a climber within the family Asteraceae that is native to South Africa. One of the two species in the genus Delairea, it was previously included in the genus Senecio as Senecio mikanioides. It is known as Cape ivy in some parts of the world (US) and German ivy in others. Other names include parlor ivy and Italian ivy.
Erechtites is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family known commonly as fireweeds or burnweeds. They are native to the Americas and Australia, but some species are widely distributed weeds.

Native to Kenya and Tanzania, it is colloquially known as creeping jade, trailing jade or weeping jade due to its resemblance to the unrelated Jade plant.
x Senecurio kleiniiformis is a hybrid species of flowering plant in family Asteraceae. It has been placed in either the genus Senecio, as Senecio × kleiniiformis, or Kleinia, but is now thought to be a hybrid between an unknown species of Curio and Senecio tropaeolifolius. It was initially named Curio × kleiniiformis, but in 2020 the hybrid genus Senecurio was created for it.
