Stephanotis arabica, synonyms including Dregea arabica and Marsdenia robusta, is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae, native to Socotra and mainland Yemen. [1] It was first described by Joseph Decaisne in 1844. [2]
Marsdenia robusta was assessed as "vulnerable" in the 2004 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to Socotra. [3] As of December 2023 [update] , M. robusta was regarded by Plants of the World Online as a synonym of Stephanotis arabica, which is also found in mainland Yemen. [1]
The Asclepiadoideae are a subfamily of plants in the family Apocynaceae. Formerly, they were treated as a separate family under the name Asclepiadaceae, e.g. by APG II, and known as the milkweed family.
Stapeliinae is a subtribe of flowering plants within the subfamily Asclepiadoideae of the family Apocynaceae. The subtribe comprises about 35 genera, including both the stem-succulent "stapeliads" and the horticulturally popular genera Brachystelma and Ceropegia. The largest number of genera are native to Africa, but a more limited number of genera are widespread in Arabia and Asia.
Cynanchum is a genus of about 300 species including some swallowworts, belonging to the family Apocynaceae. The taxon name comes from Greek kynos and anchein, hence the common name for several species is dog-strangling vine. Most species are non-succulent climbers or twiners. There is some evidence of toxicity.
Stephanotis is a genus of flowering plants first described in 1806. The name derives from the Greek stephanōtís fit for a crown, derivative of stéphanos (masculine) crown. It contains evergreen, woody-stemmed lianas with a scattered distribution in several tropical and subtropical regions.
Marsdenia is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1810. It is named in honor of the plant collector and Secretary of the Admiralty, William Marsden. The plants are native to tropical regions in Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas.
Cynanchum socotranum, synonym Sarcostemma socotranum, is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is endemic to Socotra Island, south of Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Vincetoxicum is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae. Although the species in Vincetoxicum have sometimes been included in Cynanchum, chemical and molecular evidence shows that Vincetoxicum is more closely related to Tylophora, now included in Vincetoxicum. The generic name means "poison-beater" in Botanical Latin because of the plants' supposed antidotal effects against snakebite.
