Read about Huernia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Huernia (Justus Huernius, or Heurnius, collector of Cape plants). Also spelled Heurnia. Asclepiadaceae. Succulent dwarf perennials resembling Stapelia, but differing in having the angles between the corolla-lobes produced into teeth, the corolla campanulate, the corona toothed or lobed and adnate to base of corolla. They are greenhouse subjects, mostly from the Cape, but some from Trop. Afr. and one from Arabia. They appear not to be in the trade, but some of the 30 or more species may be found in collections of succulents. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
