DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT Calantica capuronii is native to a small portion of southeastern Madagascar; it probably occurs in humid forest. REMARKS The only habit information recorded for Calantica capuronii is “arbuste”; since small individuals of other species that are definitely trees are sometimes similarly described, it is possible that C. capuronii is actually, at least sometimes, a small tree, as is the usual case in this genus. Vernacular names Fandrianakanga ( Service Forestier 15285 ); Vandrikala ( Service Forestier 6551 ). CONSERVATION STATUS The preliminary assessment of the conservation status of Calantica capuronii is Endangered (EN B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii)), with an Extent of Occurrence of 1442 km 2, and an Area of Occupancy of less than 500 km 2. It is known from three locations relatively close together; remaining natural vegetation in the area is subject to continuing habitat degradation.
