455.0000 Family Apocynaceae Juss.; Gen. Pl.: 143 (1789), nom. cons.

372 genera, ca. 6500 spp. According to modern authors and PCR Asclepiadaceae is only a subfamily of Apocynaceae.

Species listed in database: 6627; hybrids: 9

455.6341 Genus Ceropegia L.; Sp. Pl. 1: 211 (1753)

Distribution: Arid and subarid regions of the Old World, centered in southern and eastern Africa, few Canary Isl., Madagascar (ca. 30), trop. and subtrop. Asia from Arabian Peninsula to New Guinea, Australia (Queensland). The genus was hopelessly paraphyletic and can only be rescued by inclusion of all the stapeliad genera (Bruyns et al. 2017), to be treated sensu latissimo. The alternative would be complete split up in numerous smaller genera. Systematics taken here from Bruyns et al. (2017) and Bruyns (pers. comm.)
