Name

Tylophorinae K.Schum. in Engler & Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam. 4, 2: 209. (1895)

• Type genus: Tylophora R.Br., Prodr. Fl. Nov. Holland.: 460 (1810) vide Vincetoxicum Wolf, Gen. Pl. [Wolf] 130. (1776)

Synonyms

• Homotypic

Note: Endress et al. (2014), Liede-Schumann et al. (2012) and Liede-Schumann & Meve, (2018) proposed an expanded Vincetoxicum. The required formal transfers have now all been made (Liede-Schumann & Meve, 2018) resulting in a monotypic tribe.
