Default [REQ] Identification

Sorry dude, Senecio macroglossus and Senecio mikanoides are not stem
succulents.

Senecio atriculatus is the only species with both a succulent stem and
petiolate leaves. The stems are elongated (etiolated) because the plant is
being grown in poor light.

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.
