Phlyctidocarpa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.

[1] It contains a single species, Phlyctidocarpa flava.

[1] The genus and sole species were first described in 1967.

[1] It has been placed in subfamily Apioideae (possibly in its own tribe Phlyctidocarpeae), but a 2021 molecular phylogenetic study found that it was sister to a clade composed of the subfamilies Saniculoideae and Apioideae so that including it in Apioideae rendered that subfamily paraphyletic.

One possibility is to include it in an expanded Saniculoideae; another is to merge Saniculoideae into an expanded Apioideae.
