Summary[edit]

Description

Dendrosenecio keniodendron or Giant Groundsel is a species of the genus Dendrosenecio of the large family Asteraceae and is one of the several species of giant groundsels endemic to the high altitudes of the Afrotropic, including Dendrosenecio johnstonii[6] (Senecio battiscombei)[7] occurring on Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, and the Aberdare Mountains, Dendrosenecio keniensis occurring the lower alpine zone of Mount Kenya and D. keniodendron occurring in higher and drier sites on Mount Kenya.[8] The giant rosette plants, sometimes 6 metres (20 ft) tall, often grow in even-sized stands (presumably even-aged), with different understory communities under different-aged stands.

It occurs at altitudes between 3,900 metres (12,800 ft) and 4,500 metres (14,800 ft) and is endemic to valley slopes and ridges in the alpine zone of Mount Kenya
