distribution:

Madagascar: Isalo Mountains / Toliara Province

 
This species is still only known by a single cultivated plant which was found among a collection of Ceropegia dimorpha from the Isalo Mountains.

This species differs from Ceropegia dimorpha in its smaller and narrower leaves.

The flowers are also different, in contrast to those of Ceropegia dimorpha they show a conspicuously flower-tube.

Despite all these differences Ceropegia pseudodimorpha is commonly treated as identical to Ceropegia dimorpha.
