Rhopalocarpus lucidus is a tree in the family Sphaerosepalaceae. [3] It is endemic to Madagascar.
Rhopalocarpus lucidus is a widespread species in Madagascar. Its habitat is forests and thickets from sea-level to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) altitude. Some populations are within protected areas. [1] [4]
Because Rhopalocarpus lucidus is used as firewood and for making tools and rope, subsistence harvesting is a threat. [1]
