Ceropegia floribunda   (N. E. Br.)

back

syn. Ceropegia floribundum [wrong]

distribution: Botswana Namibia

This species is a weedy climber, which is quite similar in its appearance to Ceropegia conrathii. In F. Malaisse's 'Recherches sur les Asclepiadaceae du Shaba (Zaire) 1. Nouvelles observations sur le genre Ceropegia' a complete different plant is pictured under the name Ceropegia floribunda, probably a relative of Ceropegia papillata.
