Camptocarpus sphenophyllus is a slender climbing shrub from the island of Rodrigues, known from its wedge-shaped leaves. Sources give little on cultivation, so care advice here is general guidance for a seasonally dry tropical climber.
Camptocarpus sphenophyllus is a species of plant in the Apocynaceae family. It is endemic to the island of Rodrigues. Isaac Bayley Balfour, 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).
