Senecio inaequidens is a species of the genus Senecio and family Asteraceae.

Distribution

It is a native species in the Afrotropic ecozone, specifically in Southern Africa: Lesotho, South Africa, Swaziland.[3]

In a European country like Norway it is considered as "alien" and a "threat against biodiversity". In 2010 it was discovered in Oslo, to the authorities' dismay.[4]
