Pterocephalus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caprifoliaceae. It comprises 34 species of herbs and shrubs ranging from the Mediterranean to central Asia, the Himalayas, and tropical Africa.
From Greek πτερον, pteron, a wing, and κεφαλη, kephale, a head, in reference to the receptacle of the flowers being villous or chaffy.
