Hasteola Rafinesque.
A genus of 2 species, perennial herbs, of eastern North America. Hasteola (Synosma) has been treated as a small genus of perennial herbs (consisting of Hasteola suaveolens and the FL peninsular endemic, H. robertiorum L.C. Anderson), but Pelser et al. (2007) included it in Senecio based on an interpretation of phylogenetic results. Simultaneously, Kadereit & Jeffrey (2007) retained it as a genus. Pruski (2021) defended it as a genus.

- If you opt out of including email, please be as specific as possible (e.g., which photo is incorrect?)
- Please do not submit questions asking to identify plants or about horticultural topics (e.g., how do I control an invasive plant in my garden?). Instead, those questions can be submitted here for the Carolinas region only.
- Please do not send us feedback about unkeyed species as this work is ongoing.
- Please allow time for flora edits to show in our next data release. We greatly appreciate your feedback but may require extra time to research complicated taxonomic issues.
