Schizolaena masoalensis is a plant in the family Sarcolaenaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. The specific epithet refers to the Masoala peninsula where the species is found. [3]
Schizolaena masoalensis grows as a liana [3] or tree. [2] Its papery leaves are elliptic to ovate in shape and are coloured grayish green above, tinted orangish below. They measure up to 7 cm (3 in) long. The inflorescences bear many flowers, each with three sepals and five petals. Fruits are unknown. [3]
Schizolaena masoalensis is known only from the northeastern regions of Sava and Analanjirofo, on the Masoala peninsula. Its habitat is humid forest from sea-level to 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. [2] The species is known only from the original specimens, collected in the 1940s. Since then, the location of that collection has become part of Masoala National Park, but more recent specimens have not been found. [3]
Eremolaena is a genus of flowering plant in the Sarcolaenaceae family, endemic to Madagascar. The genus has three species, all native to the country's humid east coast.
Masoala National Park, in northeast Madagascar, is the largest of the island's protected areas. Most of the park is situated in Sava Region and a part in Analanjirofo. Created in 1997, the park protects 2,300 square kilometres of rainforest and 100 square kilometres of marine parks. The Masoala Peninsula is exceptionally diverse due to its large size, and variety of habitats. Altogether, the park protects tropical rainforest, coastal forest, flooded forest, marsh, and mangrove. Three marine parks protect coral reefs and a dazzling array of marine life.
Isalo National Park is a National Park in the Ihorombe Region of Madagascar, in the southwestern corner of the Province of Fianarantsoa. The closest town is Ranohira, and the closest cities are Toliara and Ihosy. It is a sandstone landscape that has been dissected by wind and water erosion into rocky outcrops, plateaus, extensive plains and up to 200 m (660 ft) deep canyons. There are permanent rivers and streams as well as many seasonal watercourses. Elevation varies between 510 and 1,268 m.
