Vincetoxicum
Sign in to saveVincetoxicum is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae. Although the species in Vincetoxicum have sometimes been included in Cynanchum, chemical and molecular evidence shows that Vincetoxicum is more closely related to Tylophora, now included in Vincetoxicum. The generic name means "poison-beater" in Botanical Latin because of the plants' supposed antidotal effects against snakebite.

Die Pflanzengattung Schwalbenwurzen (Vincetoxicum) gehört zur Unterfamilie Seidenpflanzengewächse (Asclepiadoideae) in der Familie der Hundsgiftgewächse (Apocynaceae). Der botanische Gattungsname leitet sich aus den lateinischen Wörtern vincere für siegen, besiegen und toxicum für Gift ab, dies bezieht sich auf die angebliche Wirkung des Pflanzensaftes als Antidot gegen Schlangengifte.
