Senecio evansianus—a daisy
Family ASTERACEAE

Conservation significance
Endemic to Norfolk Island.
EPBC Act Listing Status: Endangered.

Description
A low herb growing between 3 cm and 30 cm tall with small yellow daisy flowers.

Distribution and abundance
Senecio evansianus has been recorded from Rocky Point, Bumbora Reserve above Creswell Bay, Bloody Bridge and east of Bloody Bridge (Orchard 1994).
There were fewer than 200 mature plants recorded in 2003 (TSSC 2003c). The species has not been found within the Norfolk Island National Park (Mills 2012b) and was not recorded during the 2017 surveys of the public reserves (Mills 2017a-g).
A distribution map is unavailable for Senecio evansianus as there is no reliable information on the current distribution of this species.

Ecology
Little known.

Habitat
The species appears to be restricted to well-watered clay soils beneath open stands of Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla; Orchard 1994).

Threats
Primary threats to the species include weed invasion and competition, particularly by kikuyu (Cenchrus clandestinus), and climate change.

Impact on other species
None known.

Risk assessment
The risk assessment is shown in Table 139.
