| This is one of
the so called crocodile Ceropegias, a name which is deriving from the
reptile-like appearace of the species from this group. In the beginning the stems are very succulent and about the circumference of a finger. They have a very unusual, clay-brown colour. These stems become thinner and twining when they start to sprout flowers. The leaves are lancet-shaped, about 0,7 cm long and 0,2 cm broad and stand on a only 0,2 cm long petiole. |
