Sarcostemma
Sarcostemma is a formerly recognized genus  of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1810.

The genus Sarcostemma has been shown to be nested within the genus Cynanchum, and in 2012 Sarcostemma was put into synonymy with Cynanchum. Selected former species
