Tridentea pachyrrhiza is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae that is native to Namibia and South Africa.
Tridentea pachyrrhiza is found in South Africa and coastal Namibia, from Buntveldschuh in the north to Buchuberg in the south, at elevations between 50–300 m (160–980 ft) above sea level. It grows on stony flats among low shrubs, rarely on rocky outcrops, and is often covered with drifting sand. [3] [4]
Tridentea pachyrrhiza is a succulent plant that forms dense clumps measuring 60–200 mm (2.4–7.9 in) across. The stems are greyish green in colour, usually glabrous, and measure 30–60 mm (1.2–2.4 in) long and 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) wide. The flowers are variable in colour and may measure up to 75 mm (3.0 in) across. [3] [4]
The klipspringer is a small antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. The sole member of its genus and subfamily/tribe, the klipspringer was first described by German zoologist Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann in 1783. The klipspringer is a small, sturdy antelope; it reaches 43–60 centimetres at the shoulder and weighs from 8 to 18 kilograms. The coat of the klipspringer, yellowish gray to reddish brown, acts as an efficient camouflage in its rocky habitat. Unlike most other antelopes, the klipspringer has a thick and coarse coat with hollow, brittle hairs. The horns, short and spiky, typically measure 7.5–9 cm.
Ceropegia is a genus of plants within the family Apocynaceae, native to Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. It was named by Carl Linnaeus, who first described this genus in his Genera plantarum, which appeared in 1737. Linnaeus referred to the description and picture of a plant in the Horti Malabarici as the plant for which the genus was created. In 1753 he named this species as Ceropegia candelabrum. Linnaeus did not explain the etymology but later explanations stated that the name Ceropegia was from the Greek word keropegion κηροπηγɩον. This means candelabrum in Latin, which has a broader range than the modern word - "a candlestick, a branched candlestick, a chandelier, candelabrum, or also lamp-stand, light-stand, sometimes of exquisite workmanship".
