Tylophora is a genus of climbing plant or vine, first described as a genus in 1810. It is native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, and Australia. Most of the species are perennial lianas.[1] The name is derived from the Ancient Greek tylos/τυλος "knot", and phoros/φορος "bearing".[2] The genus was originally erected by Robert Brown for four species he described in Australia. It was placed in the Asclepiadaceae,[3] which has now been sunk into Apocynaceae.[4]
