Senecio macroglossus (Natal ivy, wax ivy) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to southern Africa, from Zimbabwe and Mozambique to eastern South Africa.

Growing to 3 m (10 ft) or more, it is an evergreen climber with waxy triangualr leaves to 8 cm (3 in) long. Single, yellow, daisy-like composite flowerheads are borne in summer.^[1]

Despite its common name, and its resemblance to common ivy, it is not closely related to that group of plants. The Latin specific epithet macroglossus means “large tongue”.^[2]

The name Ivy is most often used to the species of Hedera genus of Araliaceae which have very different minute flowers; which it IS NOT. However, Ivy is less often used for other plants also, including Asteraceae members, to which this plant belongs. Please see the link-
