Asclepiadaceae :- Again has pentamerous (Five Petal) flowers but has a large corona, typical lifebelt shape in the middle of the flower. See the picture of a Huernia for a typical flower. The body of the plant below is quite typical of a large number of plants in the Asclepiadaceae familiy, but there are slightly different forms that look more like Cacti. Huernia Macrocarpa
