This family is known for its wide range of growth forms, including trees, shrubs, herbs, and lianas, and is predominantly found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Members of the Apocynaceae family are characterized by their milky latex sap, which often contains toxic compounds used by the plants as a defense mechanism against herbivores. Notable genera within this family include Nerium (oleander), Catharanthus (periwinkle), Plumeria (frangipani), and Adenium (desert rose). Here is a list of some beautiful succulents in this family.
