Respected Sir,
I am a bit confused how come both of your names are synonyms of
Ceropegia lawii.

Ceropegia lawii
Ceropegia sahyadrica
Ceropegia rollae
are for sure three distinct species!!

I will request Sid to share his article:

Siddharthan Surveswaran; Mayur Y. Kamble; Shrirang R. Yadav; Mei Sun:
Molecular phylogeny of Ceropegia (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae) from
Indian Western Ghats. Plant Systematics and Evolution 281:1-4, 51-63
(2009)

Its not for free online!!

You are correct dear Pankaj.
Somewhere my understanding of the article went wrong.

Will correct my notes and will put the corrected matter here AND in the previous post of Ceropegia sahyadrica.
Ceropegia maccannii Ansari, Ceropegia panchganiensis Blatt. & McCann, Ceropegia rollae Hemadri, Ceropegia sahyadrica Ansari & B.G.P.Kulk are NOT synonyms of Ceropegia lawii Hook.f.

Dinesh ji,

Here's the link to download my paper as Pankaj as requested.


Your specimen looks like C. lawii to me. Yes, there is no clear definition of group here. Already, C. lawii is controversial I guess. But your specimen looks more like C. lawii which I used in our study. 

Anyway great picture and great post.

Sid.

Oh ... so many thanks Sid ji for validating this ID.
To me. these two species: C. lawii and C. sahyadrica seem confusingly close to each other with respect to their appearance in general.
Is there any "easy on eye" key to differentiate these two ?

Regards.
Dinesh

Sid ji ... many thanks for link to your doc. C. lawii and C. sahyadrica do look different to some (great) extent in terms of their inflorescence ... thus convinced that plant in my photo in this thread is indeed C. lawii.
Will make change in my notes shortly, and put up corrected contents in this thread,
Regards, many thanks once again.

... this thread has become informative and ironically messy ... please bear with my learning of Ceropegia.
Putting the corrected contents in the following post.

Dear Rajesh ... the basic details are put in the first post of this thread ... it is: "Photographed at Tung fort, 3060 ft asl, 31 JUL 11".
Yet, for more information, a click on the photo takes you to the photopage at my flickr ... geo-coordinates can be got from the map in the right column.

Regards.
Dinesh.

the photo is confusing, C. lawii has pure white flower, whereas ur photo doesnt, i dont think its, C. lawii, it may be C. sahyadrica but need more photos to confirm..

you can see much variation in ceropegia lawii here, it is restricted to Thane,Ahmadnagar  and Nashik Districts that too higher peaks.

Also adding one plate so we can easily see the difference
