Malagasia is a monotypic genus of trees in the family Proteaceae. The sole species is Malagasia alticola, endemic to Madagascar. [2]

The species was originally described in 1963 by French botanist René Capuron. Capuron included the new species in the genus Macadamia , naming it Macadamia alticola. [3] The species was transferred to the newly erected genus Malagasia in 1975 by Barbara Briggs and Lawrie Johnson. [4]
