This member of the Asclepiadaceae* family was first described by
Ernst Heinrich
Friedrich Meyer in 1838,
and later in 1896 by Friedrich Richard Rudolf Schlechter as
Dichaelia circinata.
It is found both in South Africa and Namibia. It prefers a
well-drained soil with some water and some of sun. The caudex
will get ten centimetres in diameter, and the branches 50
centimetres long. Can only be reproduced by seeds. The flowers are
greenish white. *This family might been incorporated
in the
Apocynaceae
family now.
