Kibatalia is a genus of trees and shrubs in the family Apocynaceae, tribe Malouetieae, first described as a genus in 1826. It was initially called Hasseltia, but this turned out to be an illegitimate homonym (in other words, someone else had already used the name for another plant). So Kibatalia was chosen as a replacement name. Kibatalia is native to China and Southeast Asia.[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=117087 Flora of China Vol. 16 Page 179 倒缨木属 dao ying mu shu Kibatalia G. Don, Gen.
