Many thanks dear all.

Dear friends ... got a query about this species' epithet: ... vincifolia OR vincaefolia (the latter is old English spelling)
Need to know which of them OR are both of them accepted spellings.

While The Plants List has Ceropegia vincifolia Hook. as the accepted name, there is a synonym Ceropegia hirsuta var. vincaefolia (Hook.) Hook. f.
At another site, dedicated solely to Ceropegia ... The Ceropegia Lexicon treats Ceropegia vincifolia as wrong.

Would like to know your thoughts.

Regards.
Dinesh

This article from ICBN, should provide the answer

60.8. The use of a compounding form contrary to Rec. 60G in an adjectival epithet is treated as an error to be corrected.

Ex. 17. Candolle's Pereskia "opuntiaeflora" is to be cited as P. opuntiiflora DC. (1828), and Myrosma "cannaefolia" of the younger Linnaeus, as M. cannifolia L. f. (1782).

Ex. 18. Cacalia "napeaefolia" and Senecio "napeaefolius" are to be cited as Cacalia napaeifolia DC. (1838) and Senecio napaeifolius (DC.) Sch. Bip. (1845), respectively; the specific epithet refers to the resemblance of the leaves to those of the genus Napaea L. (not "Napea"), and the substitute (connecting) vowel -i should have been used instead of the genitive singular inflection -ae.

Ex. 19. However, in Andromeda polifolia L. (1753), the epithet is a pre-Linnaean plant name ("Polifolia" of Buxbaum) used in apposition and not an adjective; it is not to be altered to "poliifolia" (Polium-leaved).

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.

This is orthographic change which became operative after 2005 Botanical Code, published in 2006. You will find vincaefolia in perhaps all publications before 2006.

You will notice that change in IPNI was also made only in 2007. Plant list takes this as source

... very very clear supportive reason at this IPNI link. Many many thanks for thrashing this vincifolia vs vincaefolia ambiguity, Gurcharan ji.
