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.

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.

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.

Well, thanks to your help I have managed to narrow my search down to the
Senecio family. I found this picture, wich is allmost similar to mine, only
the leaves have a slightly different shape.

So I think it must be a different variety.

Thanks for your help sofar.
