| Those species' flowers remind on those of the so called monteroie form of the species Ceropegia sandersonii. Their base is slightly swollen and coloured greenish white, the flower-tube is rose-coloured in the lower part changing into white upward and shows some green venation there. The plain green petals form a kind of roof. |
