Stapeliopsis
Also called Milkweed Family, Dogbane, Periwinkle Family [plants], Periwinkle Family, Dogbanes And Milkweeds
Stapeliopsis is a genus of succulent plants in the family Apocynaceae, native to southern Africa.
The genus occurs across southern Africa, but is absent from most of the interior, occurring mainly around the western and southern verges of the subcontinent. The species are mostly very rare and restricted in their range. Only Stapeliopsis saxatilis is relatively widespread in rocky areas of the Cape.
