Camptocarpus sphenophyllus is a species of plant in the Apocynaceae family. It is endemic to the island of Rodrigues.[3] Isaac Bayley Balfour,[4] the naturalist who first formally described the species named it, using the synonym Tanulepis sphenophylla, after its wedge-shaped leaves (Latinized forms of Greek σφην-, sphen- and φύλλον, phúllon).[5][6]
