Vincetoxicum rupicola is a species of plant in the dogbane family Apocynaceae that is endemic to Queensland, Australia.[1] It was first described by Paul Forster in 1992 as Tylophora rupicola.[2]
The species is a slender vine with clear sap and stems up to 1 m long. The dull green, dagger-shaped leaves grow to 55 mm in length. The pink, five-petalled flowers are about 10 mm in diameter. The spindle-shaped fruits are 40 mm long.[3]
The species is known from the Wet Tropics of north-eastern Queensland, where it grows among grass and rocks above permanent water in grassy open forests of Allocasuarina torulosa, Eucalyptus granitica and Corymbia rhodops on granitic soils.[3]
The species has been listed as Endangered under Australia's EPBC Act. The main potential threats include competition from invasive weeds, consequent increases in wildfire intensity, and timber harvesting.[3]
