x Senecurio kleiniiformis is a hybrid species of flowering plant in family Asteraceae. It has been placed in either the genus Senecio, as Senecio × kleiniiformis, or Kleinia, but is now thought to be a hybrid between an unknown species of Curio and Senecio tropaeolifolius.[4][5] It was initially named Curio × kleiniiformis,[4] but in 2020 the hybrid genus Senecurio was created for it.[5]
