Cinnamosma macrocarpa [2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Canellaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
Cinnamosma macrocarpa is a shrub or small tree, growing 3 to 18 meters tall. [1]
Cinnamosma macrocarpa is native to eastern and northwestern Madagascar, in the provinces of Antsiranana, Fianarantsoa, Toamasina and Toliara. [1]
it grows in humid and subhumid littoral forests and on rocky soil in lowland and montane forests from sea level to 1,180 meters elevation. [1]
There are ten known subpopulations of the species. It is affected by habitat loss from logging, conversion of land to agriculture, and mining. Its population is declining, and its conservation status is assessed as vulnerable. [1]
Hesperocyparis macrocarpa is a coniferous tree. It is commonly known as the Monterey cypress and is one of several species of cypress trees endemic to California.
Quercus macrocarpa, the bur oak, commonly spelled burr oak, is a species of oak tree native to eastern North America. It is in the white oak section, Quercus sect. Quercus, and is also called mossycup oak, mossycup white oak, blue oak, or scrub oak. The acorns are the largest of any North American oak, and are important food for wildlife.
Ravenala is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants. Classically, the genus was considered to include a single species, Ravenala madagascariensis, commonly known as the traveller's tree, traveller's palm or East-West palm, from Madagascar. It is not a true palm but a member of the family Strelitziaceae. The genus is closely related to the southern African genus Strelitzia and the South American genus Phenakospermum. Some older classifications include these genera in the banana family (Musaceae). Although it is usually considered to be a single species, four different forms have been distinguished. Five other species were described in 2021, all from Madagascar: Ravenala agatheae Haev. & Razanats., R. blancii Haev., V.Jeannoda & A.Hladik, R. grandis Haev., Razanats, A.Hladik & P.Blanc, R. hladikorum Haev., Razanats., V. Jeannoda & P.Blanc, R. madagascariensis Sonn., et R. menahirana Haev. & Razanats.
Anomostachys is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1951. It contains one known species, Anomostachys lastellei, endemic to Madagascar.
Carissa macrocarpa is a shrub native to tropical and southern Africa. It is commonly known as the Natal plum and, in South Africa, the large num-num. In Zulu, as well as in the Bantu tribes of Uganda, it is called Amathungulu or umThungulu oBomvu. In Afrikaans the fruit is called noem-noem.
Leptolaena abrahamii is a species of flowering plant in the family Sarcolaenaceae. It is found only in Madagascar. Its natural habitat is mid-elevation humid tropical forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Leptolaena cuspidata is a species of flowering plant in the Sarcolaenaceae family. It is found only in Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Voanioala gerardii, commonly known as the forest coconut, is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is a relative of the coconut, and is generally regarded as monotypic within the genus Voanioala. However, a team of geneticists headed by Bee F. Gunn found sufficient genetic variation within Voanioala to constitute at least two and possibly four cryptospecies. Voanioala is endemic to Madagascar, and is threatened by habitat loss. Voanioala is harvested for its edible seeds and palm heart. It is estimated that there are fewer than fifteen mature trees remaining.
Khaya madagascariensis is a species of plant in the family Meliaceae. It is found in Comoros and Madagascar.
Mastixia macrocarpa is a tree in the family Nyssaceae. The specific epithet macrocarpa is from the Greek meaning "large fruit".
Melanophylla alnifolia is a species of plant in the Torricelliaceae family. It is endemic to eastern Madagascar. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland and montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Cycas thouarsii, the Madagascar cycad, is an evergreen arborescent cycad in the genus Cycas. It is named after a French botanist Louis-Marie Aubert du Petit-Thouars (1758—1831).
Tabernaemontana macrocarpa grows as a shrub or tree up to 30 metres (100 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 50 centimetres (20 in). The bark is yellowish brown, brown, grey-brown or grey. Its fragrant flowers feature combinations of cream, white and orange corolla lobes. The fruit is orange, with paired follicles, each up to 16 centimetres (6 in) in diameter. The specific epithet macrocarpa is from the Greek meaning "with large fruit". Its habitat is forests from sea level to 1,500 metres (5,000 ft) altitude. Tabernaemontana macrocarpa has been used as arrow poison. The species is native to Thailand and Malesia.
Chapelieria is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The genus contains only one species, viz. Chapelieria madagascariensis, which is endemic to Madagascar.
Cinnamosma fragrans is a species of flowering plant in the family Canellaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar, where it is commonly known as saro.
Cinnamosma madagascariensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Canellaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar., where it is known as sakaihazo.
Culcita macrocarpa, the woolly tree fern, is a species of fern in the family Culcitaceae native to Macaronesia and parts of the Iberian Peninsula, where it might have been introduced.
Gereaua is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Sapindaceae. It only contains one species, Gereaua perrieri(Capuron) Buerki & Callm.
Grewia sely is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to Madagascar. It is known from only two locations on the island, and is critically endangered.
