Ceropegia vincaefolia :: Sinhgad Pune Family : Asclepiadaceae Lucky to locate huge climber. Total height 6-8 feet growing on another dry shrub. close up its eyecatching, otherwise one could easily walk past it…
KAS Week:DS_011012_02 Ceropegia vincifolia: Yes Ceropegia vincaefolia indeed. Apocynaceae.
Ceropegia vincaefolia: Oh, what a bunch ! Superb. Very nice and crisp. The flowers here appear to be shorter and stouter than those found on Sinhgad. The cyme is also bigger. kaas plateau By the way correct spellings should be vincifolia Not a big issue … You will find most books using “ae'” as spellings. It is only recently that Botanical Code has directed that whenever “ae” appears in spellings of specific epithet, it should be changed to “i”.

      Ceropegia vincifolia from Mumbai : Attachments (6). 5 posts by 4 authors.
The twining Ceropegia vincifolia has been flowering in certain sections of both the Borivali and the Goregaon ends of the National Park in Mumbai. Have identified four distinct locations of its occurrence here; it is interesting to note that in each of these pockets, it has been climbing on Strobilanthes callosus [syn. Carvia callosa].
The leaves bear several glands at the base of the midrib on the upper side. The petiole is distinctly channelled above. Leaf size: 25 cm x 8 cm (including petiole of 3.3 cm).
Clicked last week (2.8.13) on a refreshingly overcast morning illuminated by these charming lantern blossoms. Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing your observations.

Need to know which of them OR are both of them accepted spellings. While The Plants List <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2713207>has Ceropegia vincifolia Hook. as the accepted name, there is a synonym Ceropegia hirsuta var. vincaefolia (Hook.) Hook. f.
At another site, dedicated solely to Ceropegia … The Ceropegia
Lexicon <http://www.ceropegia.minks-lang.de/c.vincaefoli…> treats Ceropegia vincifolia as wrong. Would like to know your thoughts.
This article from ICBN, should provide the answer Many thanks … for providing the clarity.
However in this particular case, yet not clear whether to conclude vincaefolia staying intact OR not. From Sir J D Hooker’s The Flora of British India Vol. IV. — failing to find Ceropegia vincaefolia put as separate species … rather it is put as one of the five varieties of Ceropegia hirsuta … thus Ceropegia hirsuta var.
vincaefolia. Is it so that Ceropegia vincaefolia got its individual status after his book got published ? Is it the reason for changing the epithet at a later date to vincifolia ? This is orthographic change which became operative after 2005 Botanical Code, published in 2006. You will find vincaefolia in perhaps all publications before 2006. You will notice that change in IPNI was also made only in 2007. Plant list takes this as source … very very clear supportive reason at this IPNI link<http://www.ipni.org/ipni/age=&s…>.
