Stapeliad Checklist - A guide to alternative names used in recent stapeliad classification (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae: Ceropegiae). Compiled by Dennis de Kock and Dr. Ulrich Meve, edited by Chris Moore assisted by Alan J. Butler and Robert Boatman. Published in 2007 by the International Asclepiad Society.
In recent literature on the revision of the various stapelioid genera within the tribe Ceropegieae, authors had different approaches on the application of genera and species names and ranking. In many cases plants were treated as different species and even genera, often making it rather confusing for users of names. In this list all names for each taxon are grouped together, as well as names applied in recent revisons, the original described name, any recently used names and well-known synonyms. The type species for the genera are indicated, and countries of known distribution are given.
There are 127 pages printed on high quality paper and the attractive front and back covers, in full colour, show Orbea lutea ssp lutea and Ceropegia pachystelma respectively.
