Looks close to one Ceropegia anantii posted by … Any opinion? any difference ?


Beautiful catch and thanks for sharing. It is definitely Ceropegia attenuata.


…, C. anantii has on it lemon green petal, a inconspicuous brown dot not a scientific key.
C. anantii is found distributed around Phonda, north Goa.

Ceropegia attenuata : Matheran: This year the number of Ceropegia attenuata is in good quantity but no
Ceropegia vincaefolia at Mathran, huge disappointment, after last year’s sighting.

Ceropegia attenuata from Mumbai : Attachments (2).  4 posts by 3 authors.

The soft glow of the delicate Ceropegia attenuata glistened through the rainfed crevice of a mossy rock in Borivali National Park, North Mumbai.
This herb is about 12 cm tall. The leaves are sessile; leaf size: 8 cm x 0.5 cm. Clicked last week (2.8.13) on an overcast morning with sporadic showers. The second picture of the wilted flower was clicked the very next day.


Superb … Another great catch.

Came across this Ceropegia Sp. at “Hasah chi Patti” (Matheran) on 13th Sept.
ID requested..

This may be Ceropegia anantii. Ref pg 406 S. Ingalhalikar FFOS. If the light dots I can see in your pic are as described in the book ” lobes linear, with 2 dark spots inside each lobe”. Leaves are supposed to be linear – lanceolate as in your pic.


Some obscure spots can be seen on corolla but that has to be confirmed by close ups. Distribution wise this can be faded C. attenuata


this is ceropegia attenuata for sure 


Looks good for C.attenuata but still leaves are confusing for me…


That is surely C attenuta
