Curio rowleyanus (H. Jacobsen) P. V. Heath, Calyx 6:55. 1999 "roeleanus" (Syn: Curio rowleyanus f. marmoratus P. V. Heath; Kleinia rowleyana (Jacobsen) G. Kunkel; (≡) Senecio rowleyanus H. Jacobsen); South Africa (W-Cape Prov., E-Cape Prov.) as per Catalogue of Life;
String of pearls Senecio rowleyanus It develops white flowers that has intense cinnamon like smell some folks develop allergy to the pollen so be careful sniffing the heavenly scent, just do it in moderation... enjoy.. Thank you ... for the id.. I would have never thought a plant with succulent leaves would belong to Asteraceae family. yes, ... of TAW isn't life wonderful and full of surprises? when you see the flowers it will become very easy to accept the family name... Last year or two I have had success with these and have lots of the flower pictures but where is the question I did not label them and hence are in a sea of DSC numbers, alas I'll try to find them and share here this year's flowers happened when I was away so only dried remains is all got to see...
Requesting to please ID this ornamental in a nursery in Lonavala, Maharashtra in October 2013. I have seen this elsewhere as well but, in all cases I have not seen any leaves. These are the spherical leaves of the succulent vine Senecio rowleyanus [Asteraceae].
Kindly help with identification of this cultivated succulent. String of pearls Senecio rowleyanus- its not of this weeks families, its a daisy if I remember correctly. well wiki says its and aster family member http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senecio_rowleyanus. so the string of bananas this morning and this donot belong here.. by the way.. did you get to look at your pic for that case and enlarge the upper left corner and send in... to see the flower? Thank you Di. So the other photograph was Senecio radicans/ String of Bananas. Great variation in genus Senecio. I was expecting these two as some species of Sedum in absence of flowers.
I think I had wrongly placed this under Crassulaceae since long... please suggest some links to conclude the id, this seems to be from Asteraceae, recorded from Nauni in H.P. Posting this fortnight as its ruling out belongs to this fortnight.. May be in exotic Senecio (Asteraceae). Some related species are in eFI are there. Senecio rowleyanus I hope yes, ... definitely string of pearls: Senecio rowleyanus.. a popular hanging basket houseplant (how many asteraceae flowers you know that smells of exotic spice?) but if you are allergic to cinnamon you'll sneeze and dont keep it in you bedroom... headaches occur Botanically the round shape of the leaves and a small vertical "glass window" identifies all these stringed senecios.. no matter what the shape of the leaves (See your pic 2)

Jacobsen great, that small glass or jelly like window clinches the identification. did you smell the flowers. they are so lovely and unique. did you notice a cinnamon type aroma? i see it esp in southern California, where the climate allows growth of these peas in long luxuriant cascades with very many flowers, people cant resist smelling the flowers, |
