Despite its importance for scientific and conservation purposes, knowledge about the real distribution and status of native Tunisian flora is far from exhaustive. Chorological data for Ceropegia europaea (Guss.) Bruyns, the only taxon of stapeliads in the country is here presented. Morphological characters together with data on its phenology, habitat and ecology are also given. Threats at national level are evaluated and measures for conservation are here proposed.
