Amalocalyx is a genus of plant in family Apocynaceae consisting of lianas often found clinging to trees. It was first described as a genus in 1898.
Three species names have been created in the genus. Some authors recognize all three as distinct species, but the World Checklist maintained by Kew Royal Botanic Garden [1] considers the genus as constituting a single species, Amalocalyx microlobus. [2]
These lianas are found in altitude ranges of 800–1,000 metres (2,600–3,300 ft) in Southern Yunnan (South-east China), Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, and western Malaysia. [1]
