Distribution biogéographique

• Distribution and ecology Chlorophytum albociliatum sp. nov. is endemic to Madagascar, and known only from the Amoron’i Mania Region near the town of Ambatofinandrahana in central Madagascar (approximate post facto georeference, 20 ° 33 ′ S, 46 ° 48 ′ E). The precise location for this single known occurrence of the species is not known, but it was described as occurring on western slopes in woodland on gneiss, at an altitude of 1400 – 1500 m. However, the eastern edge of the Itremo Massif protected area (status: Harmonious Protected Landscape, designated in April 2015) lies only 23 km to the west of Ambatofinandrahana and it is likely that the species was collected in this area. Nevertheless, a moderate level of botanical exploration has been undertaken in this vicinity, and the species is not known to have been collected again – it is clearly rare, or possibly even extinct.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology Chlorophytum nigrogranulosum sp. nov. was collected in the north of Madagascar, on the slopes of Montagne des Français overlooking the bay of Antsiranana. It occurs in undergrowth of the deciduous dry forest in the herbaceous layer on limestone.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology Known only from the northwest of Madagascar, more precisely from the southeast of Nosy Be Island, on substrates formed from old or recent volcanic rocks, that give rise to deep soils, and the vegetation type in which the plant occurs is unknown.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology The only gathering of this new species is from Loky-Manambato in northeast Madagascar, where it was collected in Ampondrabe forest at an altitude of 370 m. The collectors, Nusbaumer & Ranirison, noted that the species had not been observed at any other sites in the vicinity, despite the recent extensive surveys and vegetation studies carried out in the area (Nusbaumer, pers. com.). The species occurs in the ground layer of dry deciduous forest on slopes, where the substrate with typical red soil, is composed of granitic and / or metamorphic rocks, with conspicuous large boulders, typically with red soil, and other evidence of ancient volcanic activity.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology The only known collection of this species is from the Réserve spéciale d’Ankarana [Ankarana Special Reserve] in the North of Madagascar. It occurs in the understory of dry deciduous forest, specifically growing in limestone scree, containing conspicuous large blocks of limestone, with pockets of smaller pieces and humic soil.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology The only known population of this species was found in the vicinity of Loky-Manambato in northeast Madagascar, within Bekaroaka forest, at an altitude of 200 metres. It grows in the understory of a dense dry forest, alongside tall emergent trees. It is present at the bottom of the slope on a poorly developed soil consisting of fine rubble derived from the underlying granite.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology The single known collection of this species was made in the northeast of Madagascar, at the edge of the Baie de Rigny, in a sparsely populated dry forest on loose, unconsolidated sands, at a very low altitude.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology The sole population known for the species is in the Solaniampilana forest at approximately 130 m above sea level, in northeastern Madagascar within the Paysage Harmonieux de Loky Manambato (category 5 protected area, see Lowry et al. 2018) in the region known as Daraina (see Fig. 19). It occurs in the understory of a dense, medium-sized sclerophyllous forest, dominated by a few emergent trees, on ferric and humus-rich soil, between numerous granite slabs. This plateau forest is interlaced with areas of more humid riparian forest. For a map showing the only known locality of C. aspidistrifolium sp. nov. see Fig. 19.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology The species is known only from the high plateau of the Itremo Massif, growing among metamorphic rocks such as quartzite or cipolin, at an altitude of 1600 metres. It occurs in open habitats, such as sparselywooded meadows, often in stony ground, where it has been noted as frequent.1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology This species has only been found in the north-eastern Madagascar, near the town of Daraina, in Binara forest, which forms part of the Loky-Manambato protected area, at an altitude of 630 m on a secondary ridge covered with dense, semi-deciduous, and somewhat sclerophyllous forest, near the edge of the secondary grassland. The substrate consists of compact or fragmented granites, resulting in poorly developed soils. We note here that the forests near Daraina are exceptionally rich in Chlorophytum, many of which are strictly endemic to the area, as far as is currently known. These include five new species described in this treatment, which are only known from Daraina, as well a new subspecies of C. sofiense – a poorly-known species, known otherwise from a single collection made over 100 years ago from a site further to the south. Daraina also harbours the typical form of the widespread C. chloranthum (see Fig. 19). This species richness can perhaps be explained by the intensity of the botanical inventories carried out over the last 5 years as part of the programmes conducted at Loky-Manambato, that have generated more than 54 000 records of plant occurrences in the 10 main forest areas of the region (Nusbaumer, pers. com.).1 esp.
• Distribution and ecology This species is known only from the Loky-Manambato Region in northeastern Madagascar, specifically from the Binara forest. The forest is characterised as dense, semi-deciduous, with many fallen trees and emergents. The collection was made at an altitude of 360 metres, at the base of the slope. The plant grows on a soil, sometimes very shallow, formed from the erosion of a granitic substrate, more or less fragmented, mixed with a layer of humus.1 esp.
