Codariocalyx is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae.[2] It belongs to subfamily Faboideae. The genus contains two species which range from the Indian Subcontinent, Tibet, Indochina, southern China, Malesia, and New Guinea.[1]

This genus has been largely debated with the genus Desmodium on whether they are separate or the same genus.[3]
