Maschalocephalus

Maschalocephalus is a genus of plants in the family Rapateaceae first described in 1900. As a disjunct, it is the only genus of the family outside of South America, as the genus's only known species is Maschalocephalus dinklagei, native to West Africa (Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone).
