Notes: Ceropegia sahyadrica closely resembles C. lawii Hook. f. and C. rollae Hemadri but differs from the former in having a saucer shaped, sparsely hairy outer corona ( vs. cupular and densely hairy corona) and broad corolla tube ( vs. narrow tube) and differs from the latter in having much dilated corolla tube ( vs. gradually dilated tube) and ovate corolla lobes ( vs. lanceolate lobes). It is also related to C. panchganiensis in its erect habit and white flowers but differs by its dilated corolla tubes, saucer-shaped outer corona and linear erect corona. The variants of this species has been recently described as C. karulensis by Punekar et al. (2013), which is reduced as a variety in the current treatment.
