Schizolaena raymondii is a tree in the family Sarcolaenaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. It is named for the botanist Raymond Rabevohitra. [3]
Schizolaena raymondii grows as a tree up to 14 metres (50 ft) tall. Its subcoriaceous leaves are elliptic to obovate in shape and coloured greenish brown above and khaki green below. They measure up to 7.5 cm (3 in) long. The inflorescences are found near branch tips, each bearing up to 12 flowers. Each flower has three sepals and five petals. The roundish fruits measure up to 1.6 cm (1 in) in diameter. [3]
Schizolaena raymondii is known only from the northern region of Sava [2] where it is restricted to a single locality in the Ambondrobe forest. [3] Its habitat is humid forest from sea-level to 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. [2]
Although abundant in its single location, the species is not in a protected area, leaving it threatened by human pressures. [3]
