Swan plant

This time of the year, the swan plants have had all their leaves eaten off by monarch caterpillars. They also produce heaps of seeds from the pods.

I'm not familiar with 'swan plants' but this does look a lot like what we call a milkweed seed pod and monarchs like to lay their eggs on those plants too. I wonder if it is the same plant with a different name or just a related species.
