Thank you for moving it, Zuzu. I'm sorry for the trouble. I wrote a Costa Rican horticulturalist friend about this. She says it used to be on the Asclepiadaceae family but now is Apocynaceae. I gather things are being moved around a lot! She suggested this website:

W3tropicos http://www.tropicos.org/Name/2... is a database where you can check the scientific names of plants and its synonymous names. taxonomy is changing, with more biomolecular technology some plants that used to be in a family, genus have been moved to another because they are more genetically close.
