I come across an article on Wikipedia, which has generated a question in my mind that "Is Ceropegia sero-pegia or kero-pegia?"
Ceropegia is a genus of plants within the family Apocynaceae. It was named by Carl Linnaeus, who first described this genus in volume 1 of his Species plantarum, which appeared in 1753. Linnaeus thought that the flowers looked like a fountain of wax. From this the scientific name was derived: ‘keros’ meaning wax and ‘pege’ meaning fountain (Pooley, 1998). They have many common names including lantern flower, parasol flower, parachute flower, bushman’s pipe, string of hearts, snake creeper, wine-glass vine, rosary vine, and necklace vine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceropegia -- Regards Rajesh Sachdev https://www.facebook.com/leopardguy https://www.facebook.com/groups/indianflora/ --
