Triphyophyllum (/ˌtrɪfi.ɵˈfɪləm/) is a monotypic plant genus, containing the single species Triphyophyllum peltatum. It is endemic to tropical western Africa and has been located in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Côte d'Ivoire.

It is a liana that produces three distinct types of leaves with variable morphology, as indicated by the genus eipthet. In the first stage, T. peltatum has simple lanceolate leaves, and looks nondescript. However, it then additionally develops long, glandular leaves, resembling those of the related Drosophyllum, which capture insects. The plant then enters its adult liana form, with short non-carnivorous leaves on a long twining stem.

T. peltatum is currently cultivated in only three botanical gardens: Abidjan, Bonn, and Würzburg. It is exceedingly rare in private collections.

Botanical history and taxonomy

Triphyophyllum peltatum was first collected in Sierra Leone in 1861 near the "Bagroo River" by Gustav Mann. The first specimen from Liberia was collected in 1910 by R. H. Bunting [1]
