Ceropegia Rollae.:
Ceropegia rollae sighted at Naneghat(Maharashtra)
Dated – 9.9.2012

/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/DSCN2656%20-%20Copy.JPG/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/DSCN2663%20-%20Copy.JPG/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/DSCN2667%20-%20Copy.JPG/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/DSCN2649%20-%20Copy.JPG
Id the ceropegia please:
Clicked at nashik hills on 30/7/2012 attaching some clciks with leaves and many angles

As leaves are ovate, i presume that plant may be erect and corolla tube sub-cylindrical, corolla lobes linear-oblong and with white flowers.
These characters are of Ceropegia rollae.

Another ceropegia for proper id:
Another ceropegia from same region nashik hills (Anjneri hills) no chance for ceropegia sahydrica as flower was very small if compare to ceropegia sahyadrica posting leaves and flowers fotographes.
it is id as ceropegia lawii yet but after watching couples of fotographs from internet i am confuse.

It looks like Ceropegia rollae to me.

Nice picture of Ceropegia rollae.

Confusion or submission : Ceropegia (lawii, rollae, sahyadrica & panchganiensis):
As per the plant list, Ceropegia lawii, C sahyadrica and C panchganiensis are all syn of Ceropegia rollae. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2712940
But on FoI website Ceropegia rollae (http://www.flowersofindia.Rolla’sCeropegia.html) , Ceropegia sahyadrica (http://www.flowersofindia.SahyadriCeropegia.html ) and Ceropegia lawii (http://www.flowersofindia.Law’sCeropegia.html) are three different and individual species. Can someone throw light on it.
