Phallaria was a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family but is no longer recognized. It has been sunk into synonymy with Psydrax. It was originally described by Heinrich Christian Friedrich Schumacher and Peter Thonning in 1827 to accommodate two West African species, P. horizontalis and P. spinosa.

Former species

  • Phallaria horizontalis Schumach. & Thonn. = Psydrax horizontalis
  • Phallaria lucida (Hochst. ex Hiern) Hochst. = Psydrax odorata ssp. odorata
  • Phallaria schimperi Hochst.
  • Phallaria spinosa Schumach. & Thonn. = Vangueriella spinosa
