The Stapeliinae are a sub- tribus in the tribe Ceropegieae from the subfamily of the silk plants (Asclepiadoideae) in the family of the dog poison plants (Apocynaceae). The species of this taxon have their areas only in the Old World. A center of diversity (center of biodiversity) is the Capensis . Most of the species of Stapeliinae are called carrion flowers . However, this name is also used for the species of the genus Rafflesia , which also exude carrion odor via their flowers in order to attract carrion flies to pollinate the flower.

description

They are succulent plants. The flowers of many taxa flows carrion out to carrion flies for pollination to attract.

Systematics

External system

The Stapeliinae are a sub- tribus in the tribe Ceropegieae from the subfamily of the silk plants (Asclepiadoideae) in the family of the dog poison plants (Apocynaceae). Phylogenetic investigations showed the following relationships within the tribe Ceropegieae:

	Marsdenieae   Ceropegieae  Heterostemminae     Leptadeniinae     Anisotominae     Stapeliinae

Internal system

The first use of the subtribe - still as "Stapelieae" - took place in 1837/1838 by George Don . The type genus of the subtribe Stapeliinae is Stapelia L. The subtribe was reintroduced in 2004 by Ulrich Meve and Sigrid Liede as part of their molecular genetic studies.

A synonym is Ceropegiinae Decne. ex Miq. (1857).

Stapelia hirsuta is the type species of the type genus Stapelia

Whites-loanea crassa
