Hypocalyptus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes three species of shrubs, subshrubs or small trees native to the Cape region of South Africa. Typical habitats include Mediterranean-climate shrubland (fynbos) at forest margins, in rocky and sandy areas, and along streams, often at high elevations.[3]

The genus belongs to the subfamily Faboideae and is the only genus found in tribe Hypocalypteae.[4][5]
