Temnocalyx is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It was originally described by Walter Robyns in 1928 and contained five species.[1] Since then most of these species have been made synonym and currently only one species name remains valid, i.e. Temnocalyx nodulosa. The species is endemic to southwestern Tanzania.
