Ceropegia zeyheri

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat notes were found. Its records fall in the dry thicket and karroid scrub of the southern Cape interior, where Ceropegia grow among shrubs from a tuber or fleshy roots.

Recorded sites run from about 440 to 940 m. Few records give an elevation.
