Etymology of Ceropegia:
Gk. keros = wax; pege = fountain. Linnaeus described this genus in volume 1 of his Species plantarum, which appeared in 1753. Linnaeus thought that the flowers looked like candles and Ceropegia literally means a fountain of wax.
Etymology of crassifolia:
From Latin crassus = "thick" and folia = "leaf". This is likely a succulent.
