OOps, sorry
I just somehow missed the subject heading on your initial posting. My
apologies!! A new species to me anyway, though I see it is mentioned in
our local edition of Botanica (though without that common name). I see
it is a succulent vine of South African origin, so I guess "Canary "
must refer to the colour rather than the provenance.
