Many thanks Gurcharan ji for providing the clarity. However in this particular case, yet not clear whether to conclude * vincaefolia* staying intact OR not.
>From Sir J D Hooker's The Flora of British India Vol. IV. -- failing to find *Ceropegia vincaefolia* put as separate species ... rather it is put as one of the five varieties of *Ceropegia hirsuta* ... thus *Ceropegia hirsuta*var. *vincaefolia*. Is it so that *Ceropegia vincaefolia *got its individual status after his book got published ? Is it the reason for changing the epithet at a later date to *vincifolia* ? Regards.
