Periploca laevigata is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae, native to the Canary Islands,[2] the Savage Islands[1] and Cape Verde.
[3] The species was described by William Aiton and was published in Hortus Kewensis in 1789.
Its seed pods are long and pointed-like at the ends.
In Cape Verde they occur on the islands of Brava, Fogo, Santa Luzia, Santiago, Santo Antão and São Nicolau.
[6][3] Some authors put the Cape Verdean subspecies as separate (as Periploca chevalieri, Browicz).
