Marsdenia (William Marsden, 1754-1836, wrote a history of Sumatra). Asclepiadaceae. Mostly twining shrubs of warm countries, a few of them sometimes planted for ornament; some of them medicinal and yielding dye and fiber.

The genus is allied to Stephanotis, which has large white fls., while those of Marsdenia are smaller and usually purplish, lurid, greenish or pallid. Lvs. opposite: cymes umbel-shaped, simple or branched, terminal or axillary; calyx 5-parted; corolla bell-, urn- or salver- shaped; lobes narrow or broad, overlapping to the right; crown of 5 scales: seeds comose, in a more or less fleshy follicle.—In tropical and subtropical countries around the world, the species probably being nearly 100. Genus rather heterogeneous.
