Cylicomorpha

Cylicomorpha is a plant genus consisting of two species that are native to the African tropics.

They have the habit of bottle trees,[2] and their soft, dilated trunks are armed with short conical spines.

[3] They are strictly dioecious,[1][2] and like all Caricaceae, produce abundant milky sap when damaged.

[4] They occur as tall-growing, pioneer plants in moist submontane habitats, where they are local but gregarious.

[3] The western species, C. solmsii is locally threatened by clearance for agriculture and wood, and may be extinct at Mount Cameroon and at Barombi, Kumba.
