Angraecum
The genus ''Angraecum'', abbreviated as Angcm in horticultural trade, common name comet orchid, contains about 220 species. Etymology Despite the genus's distribution being largely confined to Africa and its offshore islands, the genus name is a latinization of the Indonesian and Malay word anggrek (“orchid”), itself ultimately from Javanese ꦲꦔ꧀ꦒꦿꦺꦏ꧀ (anggrék, “orchid”). Description Angraecums are quite varied vegetatively and florally, and are adapted to dry tropical woodland habitat and have quite fleshy leaves as a consequence. Most are epiphytes, but a few are lithophytes. The long-lasting flowers are racemose and grow from the leaf axils. They are mostly white, but a few are yellow, green or ochre. They all have a long spur at the back of the labellum (lip). In the case of '' Angraecum sesquipedale'', a species from Madagascar, on observing the spur in the lip, Charles Darwin made the hypothesis that, since the nectar was at the bottom of th ...

Stapeliopsis Exasperata
''Stapeliopsis'' is a genus of succulent plants in the family Apocynaceae, native to southern Africa. Description ''Stapeliopsis'' was described as a genus in 1928. The name refers to its superficial resemblance to some species of the genus ''Stapelia'' (Greek ''"-opsis"'' = ''"look-alike"''). The genus is extremely variable.Pillans, Neville Stuart. 1928. South African Gardening 18: 32. The stems are four-angled in cross-section, often with lines of teeth along the angles. In some species, the stems are prostrate or even push underground as rhizomes; in others the stems are more erect. The flowers are highly tubular, with hairs inside the tube of the flower. They appear from the base of the stems and often are born underground (especially in the case of ''Stapeliopsis pillansii''. The tips of many species' flower lobes curve inwards and touch at the tip, forming closed structures. Several species even use their flowers as cages to trap their insect pollinators - only releasing ...
