Description[edit]
Kaliphora madagascariensis is a shrub or tree which grows 1 to 4 meters tall.
Range and habitat[edit]
Kaliphora madagascariensis is widespread in northern, central, and south-central Madagascar. It is chiefly found in the highlands of former Antsiranana, Mahajanga, Antananarivo and Fianaratsoa provinces. The species' estimated area of occupancy (AOO) is 420 km2, and estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 149,903 km2, based on known extant subpopulations.[1]
Its principal habitats are dry, humid, and subhumid montane evergreen forests. It ranges from 50 to 2000 meters elevation.[1]
Classification[edit]
Kaliphora madagascarensis is the sole species of the genus Kaliphora. Some recent classification systems, including the APG IV, classify the genus as part of family Montiniaceae; other systems, including that of Armen Takhtajan, classify Kaliphora in its own family, Kaliphoraceae.
