This small genus, a close relative of the composite-flowered Senecio, Kleinia and Curio, is characterized by the tomentum (fine felty hairs) on the leaves, which is easily removed without disrupting the epidermis. It is also genetically distinct from its closest relatives. The CoL lists 5 species in the genus, including the relatively common tomentosa and scaposa.
