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.
