    This member of the Asclepiadaceae* family was described by Schlechter in 1894. It's found in the southern part of Africa, growing in a well-drained soil with little water and some sun. The bulbs can get over 10 centimetres in diameter, the vines more than two meters long. The flowers are white/pink, and it can be reproduced both by cuttings, seeds and bulbs. I found mine on Amager in 2003. The leaves will get thicker when kept dry.

*This family might been incorporated in the Apocynaceae family now.
