Senecio altimontanus appears to be restricted to high-elevation grasslands (campos de altitude). This new species is characterized by its usually simple stems that are densely leafy apically, coriaceous leaves, and 1–5 corymbiform capitulescences. It is closely related to Senecio apensis from which it differs by the size, shape, and margins of the leaves, the number of phyllaries, and pubescence of the cypselae. Senecio altimontanus, uma nova espécie coletada nos estados de Minas Gerais e São Paulo, Brasil, é descrita e ilustrada. Senecio altimontanus parece ser restrita aos campos de altitude. Esta nova espécie é caracterizada pelos seus ramos usualmente simples, folhas coriáceas, concentradas no ápice dos ramos e inflorescência corimbiforme com 1 a 5 capítulos. Ela é morfologicamente relacionada a Senecio apensis, da qual difere pelo tamanho, forma e margem foliar, número de brácteas involucrais e cipselas pubescentes.

Teles, a new species of Senecio (Senecioneae – Asteraceae), is described from the National Park of Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The new species shares discoid capitula with S. gertii Zardini and is assigned to sect. Adamantina. This character is not in the circumscription for the sect. Adamantina and thus the description of the section is emended accordingly. A key to species of Senecio sect. Adamantina is provided.
