Vincetoxicum anomalum is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae, native to the island of Bioko and Cameroon in the west of Africa, and from Uganda to KwaZulu-Natal and the island of Mayotte in the east of Africa.[1] It was first described by N. E. Brown in 1908 as Tylophora anomala.[2]

Vincetoxicum anomalum has a discontinuous distribution. In the west of Africa, it is native to the island of Bioko and to Cameroon. In the west of Africa, it is native to Kenya, KwaZulu-Natal, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and to the island of Mayotte in the Mozambique Channel.[1]

Tylophora urceolata was assessed as "vulnerable" in the 2000 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to Bioko, Cameroon and Tanzania.[3] (As of February 2023), T. urceolata was regarded as a synonym of Vincetoxicum anomalum, which has a wider distribution.[1]
