Sonchus phoeniciformis, synonym Dendroseris pinnata, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to the Juan Fernández Islands of Chile .[2] It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1833 as Rea pinnata.[3] In 1835, it was transferred to Dendroseris pinnata.[2] In 2012, based on molecular phylogenetic evidence, it was shown that Dendroseris was embedded within the genus Sonchus, and all its species were transferred to that genus, placed in Sonchus subg. Dendroseris.[4] As the combination Sonchus pinnatus had already been used for a different species, the replacement name Sonchus phoeniciformis was published.[4][3]
