Chrysalidocarpus is a valid genus of African palms, family Arecaceae, first described by Hermann Wendland in 1878.[1] The native range of species in this genus includes the Comoros, Madagascar and Pemba Islands, but some have been naturalised elsewhere as ornamental plants.[2] Most species previously have been placed in the genus Dypsis, including the type species Chrysalidocarpus lutescens.
