Description: Senecio rowleyanus, colloquially known as "String of Beads" is a unique-looking succulent plant with thin, wiry stems that carry peas/pearls/beads shaped leaves along their, entire lengths. Cultivated in sunny windowsills or in hanging baskets it will rapidly form dense bunches of thin stems dangling over the edge of a pot. Variegated cultivars are available.

Habit: It is a mat-forming perennial succulent with creeping shoots growing prostrate along the ground, but often trailing or pendent.

Stems: Very slender, thin, wiry, green 60-90 cm long. If it grows along the ground it can spread indefinitely. As it produces adventitious aerial roots that grow down where they make contact with soil.

Leaves: 5-8 mm in diameter, globose or depressed-globose, slightly elongated, with a short mucro (beak) at the end opposite the points of attachment to the stems. Shiny, light green with a narrow, light green window along their length. The succulent leaves are spherical to minimize surface area, thereby conserving water.

Inflorescence: 3-5 cm in diameter and brushlike lack the brilliant colourful ray florets that often characterise daisy flowers. Fertile florets tubular, dull white with mauve anthers and violet Style, and pleasantly cinnamon-scented.

Blooming season: From spring to autumn.
Chromosome number: 2n = 20.
Remarks: Senecio rowleyanus is similar to some diploid races of Senecio radicans, but the smallest overall
