Re: a friend looking for a plant id

This looks like a Asclepiad of some sort.  I have one with a lifesaver
around the center, Huernia zebrina ssp zebrina.

See   http://www.cactus-mall.freeserve.co.uk/stapelia/picturef.html and
check  Stapelia, Stapelianthus, and Stapeliopsis, or
http://www.succulent-plant.com/stapelia.html or
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/chris.moore30444/Stapelia_a-h.htm.  Took me
forever to identify mine.
