Abstract

Overview This paper documents the significant botanical re-discovery of Senecio eminens by M. Koekemoer in 2026. Prior to this finding, the species was considered enigmatic and under-represented, with no documented collections since 1961. The re-discovery occurred within the KwaMandlangampisi Protected Environment, providing the first fresh specimens, high-quality imagery, and DNA material for the species in over six decades.
