Solanecio is a genus of African plants in the groundsel tribe within the sunflower family.Walpers, Wilhelm Gerhard. 1846. Repertorium Botanices Systematicae 6: 273
The name "Solanecio" is a combination of the names "Solanum" and "Senecio," referring to the purported resemblance the species have to both of these established genera. Resemblance to Solanum is, of course, superficial.Schultz, Carl Heinrich Bipontinus. 1842. Flora 25: 441-442 in German
