Ceropegia stentiae   (E. A. Bruce)


 
back
 
syn. -

 
distribution:

South-Africa: Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North-West Province

 
This species has a very limited range within South-Africa and is quite rare.

It is a very unusual Ceropegia species, it grows, as far as I can say, upright. The leaves are long and narrowly lancet-shaped.

The flowers appear singly. They have a very long flower-tube, which is curved upwardly in the middle. It is light brown and covered with numerous hairs inside. The elongated petals are light green and thin as a thread and as long as the tube.
