Ophrypetalum is a genus of plant in the family Annonaceae.

Ludwig Diels, the German botanist who first formally described the species, named it after the perfumed odor (odōrātus, in Latin)[3] of its flowers.

Bioactive molecules isolated from its roots and leaves have been reported to have antifungal activity in tests with Candida albicans.

The inner petals are very lightly hairy on their outer surface and smooth inside with the exception of a distinctive ridge of brown fleshy bristles at their base.

Its seeds are 2.5 by 1.4 centimeters with testa that form wings on either side.
