STAPELIA rugosa J. Donn [family ASCLEPIADACEAE], Hort. Cantab. ed. 3, 43; Jacq. Stap. t. 41; Willd. Enum. Pl. Hort. Berol. 284; Poir. Encycl. Suppl. v. 232; Schultes, Syst. Veg. vi. 33; Link, Enum. Pl. Hort. Berol. i. 256; Spreng. Syst. Veg. i. 838; Dietr. Syn. Pl. ii. 885; Decne in DC. Prodr. viii. 656.
Orbea rugosa Sweet [family ASCLEPIADACEAE], Hort. Brit. ed. 1, 277; Loud. Hort. Brit. 96.
Tridentea rugosa Schultes [family ASCLEPIADACEAE], Syst. Veg. vi. 850; G. Don, Gen. Syst. iv. 118.
Information
corolla greenish-yellow with numerous small scattered spots and transverse irregular lines of dark purple-brown on the lobes and paler yellow dotted with dark purple-brown on the annulus; disk flat on the back; annulus with a rather broad flattish rim, pentagonal, with 5 slight grooves radiating from the centre to a slight notch at each angle; outer corona-lobes linear-oblong, subequally and acutely 3-toothed at the apex; otherwise as in the type. null
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA ORIGIN: stated to be a native of South Africa, cultivated in England in 1804 according to Donn. I have not seen it.
Notes
[S. rugosa and var. coronata (Rüst in Monatsschr. Kakt. vi. 40, not of Jacquin) are hybrid forms unlike S. rugosa, Jacq., with corollas 2 1/2 in. in diam. and ovate acuminate lobes, not ciliate; in rugosa yellow, with irregular purple-brown spots and very slender lines between them; annulus circular, paler yellow than the lobes, but very thickly covered with rather large confluent purple-brown spots; outer corona-lobes oblong-linear, 3-toothed, with the middle tooth minute, pale yellow, with a purple central stripe and darker dots on the apical part; inner corona-lobes with the outer horn spreading. VAR. coronata; lobes pale sulphur-yellow, irregularly variegated with dark purple-brown spots and markings, with slender lines between them; annulus circular, with the margin and inner part crimson-brown leaving a very irregular ring of light yellow between; corona as above, but the outer corona-lobes narrowed at the teeth.]
