My volubilis grow in winter-spring and is stronger than kilimandsharica, growing in summer-autumn-winter. My gariepensis grow in autumn-winter with glaucous stems, versus green of the former, white star flowers, versus green flowers. There is a good comparative description on Flowering Plants of Africa, dealing with volubilis and gariepensis. But I have not found anything about kilimandsharica but the original description. I'd like to know more. What is volubilis nana?
