| 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. |
