Schizoglossum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apocynaceae.[1] It is characterized by a distinctive mechanism in which nectar is delivered onto the corolla through channels in the interstaminal corona.[2] In some species, the interstaminal corona may function primarily as the outer boundary of the primary nectary just below the entrance to the guide rail.[3]
Its native range is Southern Tropical and Southern Africa.[1]
