resembles Ceropegia aristolochioides and was originally thought to
represent that species. The greyish green, ca. 7 mm thin stems can grow up to about 2,5 m in length. They may grow climbing or creeping on the ground, while they root at their internodes. The flower base is swollen, green in colour and decorated with reddish purple spots. The flower tube is unicoloured, the petals are somewhat darker. |
