Genus of flowering plants
Anaphyllopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to northern South America.
The genus was created in 1988 by Hay in order to account for the differences of "Cyrtosperma americanum" from other "Cyrtosperma" species. The decision was to create a genus named "Anaphyllopsis" and rename "Cyrtosperma americanum" as "Anaphyllopsis americanum". Two other species from the Amazon were subsequently added, "Anaphyllopsis pinnata" and "Anaphyllopsis cururuana". The leaves of "Anaphyllopsis" are characteristic of being pinnate. "Anaphyllopsis" is quite similar in appearance to the genus "Anaphyllum".
