Vincetoxicum cameroonicum is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae, native from Benin to Uganda in tropical Africa. [1] It was first described by N. E. Brown in 1895 as Tylophora cameroonica. [2]
Vincetoxicum cameroonicum is native to mainly western tropical Africa: Benin, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Uganda. [1]
Tylophora cameroonica was assessed as "near threatened" in the 2000 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda. [3] As of February 2023 [update] , T. cameroonica was regarded as a synonym of Vincetoxicum cameroonicum, which has a wider distribution. [1]
The red-bellied paradise flycatcher, also known as the black-headed paradise flycatcher, is a medium-sized passerine bird of the family of monarch flycatchers. It is native to intra-tropical forests of Africa. The male bird is about 17 cm (7 in) long and has a black head, a mainly chestnut body, and a tail with streamers nearly twice as long as the body. The colouring is somewhat variable across the bird's range. Both females and juveniles lack the tail streamers and are a duller brown colour. It is closely related to the African paradise flycatcher, and the two can hybridise.
Cynanchum is a genus of about 300 species including some swallowworts, belonging to the family Apocynaceae.

There is some evidence of toxicity.

Tylophora is a former genus of climbing plants or vines, first described as a genus in 1810. The genus was originally erected by Robert Brown for four species he described in Australia. It was synonymized with Vincetoxicum in 2018, a decision accepted by Plants of the World Online as of February 2023.
Vincetoxicum is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae. Although the species in Vincetoxicum have sometimes been included in Cynanchum, chemical and molecular evidence shows that Vincetoxicum is more closely related to Tylophora, now included in Vincetoxicum. The generic name means "poison-beater" in Botanical Latin because of the plants' supposed antidotal effects against snakebite.
