    Possibly a similar climber I found on the web under the name Senecio milkanioides but it was also under Delairia odorata?

    Not familiar with the plant firsthand but one of the gurus here might be.

    Wikipedia information may help you determine which vine it is:

    "Delairea odorata has 2 to 4 -inch multi-lobed leaves that somewhat resemble those of the unrelated English ivy. Its flowers are yellow. A feature that distinguishes it from Senecio angulatus are the small appendages at the base of the stalks of the leaves that are shaped like an ear."

    Senecio macroglossus?
    Delairea (one of California's worst weeds) has discoid flower heads.

    So definitely not Delairia odorata or Senecio mikanioides. I was led astray by a google image search of Senecio mikanioides which has pictures of both rayed and discoid flower heads. Goes to show you can't always find the truth on the web. :)

    Those search results can lead you astray in (at least) two ways:
    1 - not everyone gets the names right, so if the photo was mis-labelled, it will show up the way it was labelled, and
    2 - not all the images that come up are exactly what you searched on. You can see in the hover text that some are different, either slightly or entirely.
