description_en: Genus of about 30 species of evergreen trees and shrubs, herbaceous perennials, and climbers, including several shrubby species once listed under Senecio, found in rocky places, scrub, grassland, and forest in New Zealand and Tasmania. They are cultivated for their attractive foliage and flowers: the alternate leaves are often dark green, frequently white-or buff-felted beneath; the daisy-like flowerheads, often with conspicuous ray-florets, are usually borne in racemes, corymbs, or panicles, rarely singly, in summer or autumn. Many are suitable for a shrub border, and the dwarfer species are ideal for a rock garden. Most thrive in coastal sites, where some are effective as hedges or as windbreaks.
