RodriguésiaThe Apocynaceae comprise approximately 5,000 species and are widely distributed. The family belongs to the Gentianales and can be easily recognized by the presence of latex and a style-head derived from the fusion of two carpels at the apex of the styles.

A revised classification of the Apocynaceae s.l [PDF]
, 2018 The Asclepiadaceae, as traditionally defined, have repeatedly been shown to be an apomorphic derivative of the Apocynaceae. It has often been recommended that the Asclepiadaceae be subsumed within the Apocynaceae in order to make the latter monophyletic.

Homospermidine synthase evolution and the origin(s) of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in Apocynaceae
American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Premise Enzymes that are encoded by paralogous genes and produce identical specialized metabolites in distantly related plant lineages are strong evidence of parallel phenotypic evolution. Inference of phenotypic homology for metabolites produced by orthologous genes is less straightforward, since orthologs may be recruited in parallel into ...

The Relationships of Huerniopsis and Piaranthus (Apocynaceae- Asclepiadoideae)
Systematic Botany, 1999 It is shown that there is far-reaching similarity between the genera Huerniopsis and Piaranthus. It has been widely assumed that these taxa lack an outer corona.

Taxonomic Changes in American Metastelminae (Apocynaceae-Asclepiadoideae)
Novon, 2001 One new species of Cynanchum from Ecuador is described, C. schizocoronum Liede & Meve, distinguished by its entirely fused corona with pronounced interstaminal folds and a strongly lacerate upper margin. One South American Cynanchum species is transferred to Oxypetalum, one to Blepharodon, two to Jobinia, two to Metastelma, two to Petalostelma, and one
