Taxonomic revision of Ceropegia (Apocynaceae: Ceropegieae) in India<\/a> (pdf), Kambale S.S. & S.R. Yadav, Rheedea Vol. 29(1): 01\u2013115 (2019) (Abstract: The genus Ceropegia (Apocynaceae: Ceropegieae) is revised for India based on field observation, literature survey and extensive herbarium studies. Sixty one taxa are recognized under seven sections. Nomenclatural anomalies are resolved. Distribution status is given for each species. A lectotype is designated for C. schumanniana and second step lectotypes are designated for C. hookeri and C. lucida; C. karulensis is reduced here as a variety of C. sahyadrica; C. mizoramensis and C. murlensis are reduced to the synonymy of C. longifolia subsp. sinensis. Detailed descriptions, notes, colour photoplates and taxonomic keys for sections, species and infra-specific taxa are presented)

Ceropegia jainii and C. rollae (Apocynaceae) at the brink of extinction<\/a> by R. Kr. Singh-\u00a0TAPROBANICA, ISSN 1800\u2013427X. February, 2015. Vol. 07, No. 02: pp. 87\u201390.<\/div>\n

Pronouncing the word “Ceropegia”:<\/a> I come across an article on Wikipedia, which has generated a question in my mind that “Is Ceropegia sero-pegia or kero-pegia?”<\/span>
Ceropegia is a genus of plants within the family Apocynaceae. It was named by Carl Linnaeus, who first described this genus in volume 1 of his Species plantarum, which appeared in 1753. Linnaeus thought that the flowers looked like a fountain of wax. From this the scientific name was derived: \u2018keros\u2019 meaning wax and \u2018pege\u2019 meaning fountain (Pooley, 1998). They have many common names including lantern flower, parasol flower, parachute flower, bushman\u2019s pipe, string of hearts, snake creeper, wine-glass vine, rosary vine, and necklace vine<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span>

yes, …, indeed interesting . Until now, we all were pronouncing it as <\/span>sero-pegia!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At <\/span>Dave’s botanary<\/span><\/a> …
\n<\/span>seer-oh-PEEJ-ee-uh<\/b> OR ker-o-PEE-je-uh<\/b> –<\/span>– From the Greek <\/span>keros<\/i> (wax) and <\/span>pege<\/i> (fountain), referring to the appearance of the flower clusters.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Good that you brought up this interesting question. Since we are not native to English, we are comfortable calling it as “S”eropegia so far. But the greek pronunciation goes with “k”. I asked your question in another group and an Asclep expert, Mike Haney, also gave the answer that it should be pronounced with a “k”.
\n“<\/span>Keropegia<\/span>. Good question, because our spelling rules teach us otherwise.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yes … is right, ‘C’ in Latin is pronounced as ‘K’<\/p>\n

\n

Confusion or submission : Ceropegia (lawii, rollae, sahyadrica & panchganiensis):<\/a>
\nAs per the plant list, Ceropegia lawii, C sahyadrica<\/em> and C panchganiensis<\/em> are all syn of Ceropegia rollae<\/em>. http:\/\/www.theplantlist.org\/tpl\/record\/kew-2712940<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

But on FoI website Ceropegia rollae<\/em> (http:\/\/www.flowersofindia.Rolla’s%20Ceropegia.html<\/span><\/a>),<\/div>\n
ceropegia sahyadrica<\/em> (http:\/\/www.flowersofindia.SahyadriCeropegia.html<\/span><\/a> ) and<\/div>\n
Ceropegia lawii<\/em> (http:\/\/www.flowersofindia.Law’sCeropegia.html<\/span><\/a>) are three diffrent and individual species.<\/div>\n
Can someone throw light on it.<\/span><\/div>\n

Tamil (generic) names for Ceropegia spp.<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Can we give a generic name for all those\u00a0Ceropegia<\/i>\u00a0spp. which are found distributed in Tamil Nadu, yet are not given any names ?<\/div>\n
In English, we have the “lantern flowers” given to the genus\u00a0Ceropegia<\/i>.<\/div>\n
Taking help from Google Translate, I found\u00a0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc2<\/b>\u00a0=\u00a0vilakkup pu.<\/b><\/div>\n
If this does not sound \/ look good, maybe you can suggest a name.<\/div>\n
Again depending on the plant’s habit, we can suffix it with “\u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf” or “\u0b86\u0bb2\u0bc8”.<\/div>\n
Thus for climbing Ceropegia spp. …\u00a0\u00a0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc2\u00a0 \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf<\/b><\/div>\n
non-climbing … \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc2 \u0b86\u0bb2\u0bc8 … I think the two words compound to\u00a0\u00a0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc2\u0bb2<\/b>.
\nPlease help.<\/span><\/div>\n

I looked at the etymology of the name Ceropegia and it appears that Linnaeus named it so as he thought the flowers looked like wax and shaped like a fountain or stream. The term wax-fountain may be written in Tamil\u00a0\u0bae\u0bc6\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u00a0 Mezhugootru\u00a0(wax = \u0bae\u0bc6\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1\/mezhugu\u00a0+\u00a0fountain = \u0b8a\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\/ootru), hence the name\u00a0\u0bae\u0bc6\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc2<\/b>\u00a0would translate to the wax-fountain flower.<\/div>\n
However, the name\u00a0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc2<\/b>\u00a0= Vilakku p\u016b or Vilakkuppoo (lantern flower) seems more practical may\u00a0be\u00a0due\u00a0to the popular\u00a0use of the name lantern flower.<\/div>\n
To describe the general habit in Tamil, the term\u00a0\u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bbf\u00a0<\/b>= kodi\u00a0is added as a suffix to the name of a climber (e.g.\u00a0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc2\u00a0<\/b>\u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bbf)<\/b>, and\u00a0\u0b9a\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bbf\u00a0<\/b>= chedi for a herb.
\nValli\u00a0\u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf\u00a0is not a typical Tamil name. \u0b86\u0bb2\u0bc8 Aalai generally refers to Mill (sugar mill = \u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0bb2\u0bc8). And, the names \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc2 \u0b86\u0bb2\u0bc8 and\u00a0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc2\u0bb2\u00a0do not seem to be correct.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thank you very very much … for this elaborate help with the generic Tamil name for Ceropegia<\/i>\u00a0spp.<\/p>\n
