Chlorocyathus monteiroae is a woody climbing species of the dogbane family with large tubers that exude white latex. It is native to seasonally dry parts of southern and eastern Africa and is grown mainly by specialists, so the key is to keep it dry and warm while dormant.
Chlorocyathus monteiroae is a species of plant in the Apocynaceae family. It is native to Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Daniel Oliver, the botanist who first formally described the species named it after Rose Monteiro who collected the specimen he examined from Maputo Bay (then known as Delagoa Bay).
