Parsonsia alboflavescens is a woody vine of the family Apocynaceae,[2][4] found from tropical and subtropical Asia to Northern Australia.

[4] In the Northern Territory of Australia, where it occurs in Arnhem Land, it has been declared "near threatened".

[4] The current name is that given by Mabberley in 1977,[2] who, working through the many names, found that Dennstedt's publication preceded all others, which meant that this Parsonsia took the species epithet, alboflavescens.

)[7] Robert Brown gave the generic name, Parsonsia, to honour James Parsons (1705–1770).

[8][9] The species epithet, alboflavescens, is derived from the Latin albus (white).
