Dendrosenecio is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. It is a segregate of Senecio, in which it forms the subgenus Dendrosenecio. Its members, the giant groundsels, are native to the higher-altitude zones of ten mountain groups in equatorial East Africa, where they form a conspicuous element of the flora.
==Description== They have a giant rosette habit, with a terminal leaf rosette at the apex of a stout woody stem. When they bloom, the flowers form a large terminal inflorescence. Concomitantly, two to four lateral branches are normally initiated. As a result, old plants have the appearance of candelabras the size of telephone poles, each branch with a terminal rosette.
