Well, I don't know what your question is, but a lot of stapeliad (and related genera) species are quite variable in colour, so it's really impossible to get an identification without a picture (and a flower for Stapelia's).

asaf,

You were right to question the genus. It is Senecio stapeliformis the reason for the name is obvious.
