Senecio

Hi,

Got some cuttings yesterday at the cactus club. One fellow said Senecio kleinia, (maybe kleiniiformis), but when I googled it they all had mature stems and I couldn't tell. Based on the very small leaf it had, maybe kleiniiformis.

The second I hadn't realized I picked up with the first.

Both are probably too undeveloped for an ID, but Ithought I would see if you had any ideas.

Mike,

I don't think the first one is S. Kleinia (kleiniformis). The leaves on that one are much more succulent and shaped a little differently. More likely a S. articulatus grown in full shade. The stalk is also correct for articulatus.

S. articulatus (mine)

The other one is very indeterminate. Could be any of 4 or 5 genera from several continents. The bloom will tell along with some growth with more light.

Hi Mike, yes I would agree with Buck and say it certainly looks like articulatus, although you can tell how long ago it is since I had one. It was called Kleinia articulata then. Should have yellowish flowers.
