Kidyoo, Manit

Ceropegia cochleata Kidyoo, described below, is known from three populations in the areas of northern and northeastern Thailand. Comprehensive description, illustrations, photographs, and diagnostic comparisons with the morphologically similar C. beddomei Hook. f., are here provided. Ceropegia cochleata can be easily distinguished by its conspicuously hairy inner surface of the swollen basal part of corolla tube and shape of inner coronal lobes.
