Ceropegia paniculata (Willd.) Bruyns subsp. paniculata
Indigenous Endemic

Morphological description

Corolla inside with hairs adpressed to or nearly adpressed to surface, usually somewhat thickened towards bases; lobes longer than broad. From: Bruyns, PV. 2005. Stapeliads of southern Africa and Madagascar, Vol. 2. Umdaus Press, Hatfield. [All rights reserved] As: Stapelia paniculata Willd. subsp. paniculata

Diagnostic description

Around Lambert’s Bay, specimens of subsp. paniculata have small, slender stems mostly 5 -7 mm thick, which are tightly packed into clumps. Further south, around Verlorenvlei and on the Klein Tafelberg, the stems are much thicker (6 -10 mm) and reach 150 mm tall and also form more loosely packed clusters. Near Lambert’s Bay the flowers are usually borne near the base of the stem and face outwards. In material from further south, the stems produce up to five inflorescences each and these arise from near the base to close to the apex. In such plants the flowers face upwards. In subsp. paniculata the inside of the flower is red to purplish, often with obscure, transverse paler lines. This is very variably obscured by a covering of hairs which are mostly longer and denser towards the margins of the lobes. In some the hairs are particularly dense and then the flower is more or less silvery, while more commonly the hairs let through some of the background colour so that the flower is pale pink. At two localities plants were found where the hairs were mainly confined to the central, united part of the corolla and in these the underlying markings of the surface were clearly visible. In some of those with the flowers facing upwards, the hairs were not closely adpressed to the surface of the corolla and these are hard to distinguish from material from the Piketberg formerly known as S. immelmaniae. In others the hairs are closely adpressed to the surface and occasionally the lobes are short and reflexed behind the corolla as well so that altogether these have a marked similarity to flowers of S. erectiflora. From: Bruyns, PV. 2005. Stapeliads of southern Africa and Madagascar, Vol. 2. Umdaus Press, Hatfield. [All rights reserved] As: Stapelia paniculata Willd. subsp. paniculata

Habitat

Plants of this subspecies are always found on soils derived from sandstones, usually on flat ledges on outcrops of rock, where they grow with other succulents in shallow soils between stones and small bushes surrounded by fynbos. From: Bruyns, PV. 2005. Stapeliads of southern Africa and Madagascar, Vol. 2. Umdaus Press, Hatfield. [All rights reserved] As: Stapelia paniculata Willd. subsp. paniculata

Distribution

Subsp. paniculata is known from several somewhat dispersed localities from Lambert’s Bay (where much of the former habitat was destroyed by quarrying of rock for the Saldanha-Sishen railway line) southwards to the northern edges of the Piketberg and also from a collection in Piekenierskloof Pass near Citrusdal. Leach also cited a specimen from between Loeriesfontein and Nieuwoudtville but this subspecies is unlikely to occur there and this record is omitted from the known distribution.
