Apocynum pictum is a species of plant in the Apocynaceae family. It is native to
China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Tajikistan. Alexander von Schrenk, the naturalist who first formally described the species, named it after colored (pictus in Latin) flowers.
It has been recorded as being used in central Asia as a textile fiber, and in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a tea for hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
