Ceropegia cochleata Kidyoo, described a new below, is known from three populations in northern and northeastern Thailand. Comprehensive description, illustrations, photographs, and comparisons with the morphologically similar C. beddomei Hook. f., are here provided. Ceropegia cochleata is distinguished by its conspicuously hairy inner surface of the swollen basal part of the corolla tube and by the shape of inner coronal lobes.
