Senecio angulatus, also known as creeping groundsel[5] and Cape ivy,[6][7] is a succulent flowering plant in the family Asteraceae that is native to South Africa. Cape ivy is a scrambling[8] herb that can become an aggressive weed once established, making it an invasive species.[3][9] It is grown as an ornamental plant for its satiny foliage and sweet-scented flowers.[10][3][8]

It is a problem weed in New Zealand,[11] and is naturalised in parts of North Africa[12] and Southern Europe.[13] In Australia, Senecio tamoides (Canary creeper) may usually be misapplied and is considered to be Senecio angulatus. Cape ivy is very similar to Delairea odorata, Senecio tamoides and Senecio macroglossus.[14] Other common names include climbing groundsel,[5] angled senecio,[15] Algerian senecio,[16] Jordanian senecio[17] and scrambling groundsel.[18]
