This member of the
Asclepiadaceae* family was given this name by John Gilbert Baker in 1869. It
is found in Namibia and South Africa, growing in a well drained soil with some
water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow up to eight
centimetres in diameter, the vines up to one and a half meter long.
The flowers are light brown. *This family might been incorporated
in the
Apocynaceae
family now.
