Ceropegia ampliata

Ceropegia ampliata is a flowering plant in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, native to eastern and southern Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Eswatini, Botswana, and Madagascar.[1][2] Common names include bushman's pipe, condom plant, and horny wonder.[3][4]

Description

Ceropegia ampliata is a trailing plant with a succulent stem and reduced leaves. The leaves may drop early, as the stem is the main photosynthetic organ, and it may form tuberous root structures.[3] Like many Ceropegia, pollination occurs by trapping insects inside of flowers with stiff hairs until a pollenium is attached to the insect's leg or tongue through anther slits on the corona.[5][6][7] Unlike other related species however, it is described as extremely generalist and is pollinated by flies from between four and seven fly families.[8][9]

The flowers of this species are white and light green, occasionally with a light purple ring along the tube. The corolla tube can be curved or straight, with an inflation at the base, and can grow up to 50-70 mm long. They often flower between December and March in their natural habitat. After the fruit follicles dry out and split, the tufted seeds are dispersed by wind.[3]
