Ancylanthos was a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae but is no longer recognized. It was originally described by René Louiche Desfontaines in 1818.[1] In 2005, it was sunk into synonymy with Vangueria, based on a phylogenetic study of DNA sequences.[2]
Desfontaines established the genus for the single species . By 1995 it also included the four species lactiflorus, monteiroi, rhodesiacus, and rogersii, which Bridson considered should be moved to other genera.[3]
