Orthopichonia is a genus of plants in the Apocynaceae family, first described as a genus in 1953. It was initially given the name Orthandra, but this turned out to be an illegitimate homonym (in other words, the same name had already been used for a different plant). Orthopichonia is native to Africa.[1][2][3][4][5]
