Default [REQ] Identification

Following up on Jie-san's lead, there are two species of the genus Senecio which
are good candidates. Unfortunately the reference I have here (A-Z Encyclopedia of
Garden Plants, American Horticultural Society) does not have pictures of either.

Senecio macroglossus common names: Cape ivy and Natal ivy.
Senecio mikanoides common names: German ivy and parlor ivy

These are similar to Senecio articulatus (Candle plant), but lack the constriction
at the end of a year's growth. All are from South Africa and environs no matter
what the common names imply.

Hope this helps a little.

I cannot remember the genus, but that looks a bit like a plant whose common
name is Veldt Ivy -- succulent stem, ivy-like leaves. The common name suggests
it is native to South Africa.
