Hi Eye. Sarcostemma are members of the Dogbane (Apocynaceae) Family that now also includes the Asclepiadaceae (Milkweed Family). You would have to research the various State Herbaria to ascertain if there are other Sarcostemma species in Australia. However there certainly are very different forms of S. viminale (nee australe) because I have a number of miniature plants (about 12cm tall) from the St George region in South West Qld. I also have the more common rampant climbing form that is common in inland s. e. qld. There is a huge difference in size.
Rhipsalis as Cactaceae are very unrelated to Sarcostemma.
