This member of the Asclepiadaceae* family was given this name by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1883. It is found in China, Japan, Korea, Russia and Tibet, growing in any soil with quite some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to 3,5 - 5 centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to 250 centimetres in height. The flowers are greenish yellow.
The genera name comes from Greek kynos; meaning 'dog' and anchein; 'to choke'. The species name after Charles Wilford,?-1893, a British botanist working in Asia.
