It seems there's two plants with similar flowers but very different leaves which are carrying the same name!

Funastrum cynanchoides on the Plant List is unresolved.
http://www.theplantlist.org/tp...
It is given as a synonym of Sarcostemma cynanchoides on Southwest Desert Flora.

Sarcostemma cynanchoides accepted on PL ..
http://www.theplantlist.org/tp...
Calphotos has it as Sarcostemma cynanchoides ..

Also swbiodiversity ..

On The CoL it's another of these which has it the opposite way around.

The CoL source is World Plants, I clicked to the site but the site gives a few specific links..
Organization: Individual custodian in cooperation with the Botanical Garden of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany

It seems the CoL is mainly concerned with, so far that I have found, institutions based in Austria and Germany and that is evident even on the worldplants Links ..

Another case where changes have been made yet the CoL hasn't updated. First in time takes priority, too many US sites have updated the name to be ignored. I could try to find more information on the 'renaming' of this plant in 1914 but as this site uses the CoL regardless of the evidence it's not worth my time.
