Mexican flame vine (Pseudogynoxys chenopodioides) was much easier to remember under its old Latin name of Senecio confusus. In retrospect, the species name of confusus should have been a strong hint that not all was well in taxonomy land. Regardless, this arid-zone-adapted vine grows to 10 feet or more, producing very smelly (scientists use the term "foetid"), bright orange, sunflower-shaped flowers. Handsome, dark green, arrow-shaped leaves provide a great backdrop for the flowers. All it needs is full sun, moderate water and fertilization, and a trellis or shrub to climb over.

멕시칸 불꽃 넝쿨의 예전 학명은 세네시오 콘푸수스였습니다. 콘푸수스라는 종명에서 알 수 있다시피, 이 식물은 학자들이 분류해내기가 쉽지 않았습니다. 해바라기 모양의 밝은 주황색꽃을 피우는 이 품종은 진한 녹색의 화살촉모양의 잎을 가지고 있습니다.
