This member of the Asclepiadaceae* family was first described by
Arthur Allman Bullock
in 1953. It is found in Kenya and Tanzania, growing in well-drained soil
or grit, in a sunny position. You should give it plenty of water during
the growing season, and keep it dry when dormant. As you can see is the flowers greenish.
The plant can be propagated by seeds, and might also be propagated by
cuttings as well? Found mine at Specks 2003. ES 1400.
*This family might been
incorporated in the Apocynaceae
family now.
