Habitat and distribution. – Neocussonia bojeri is widely distributed in drier areas of central and southern Madagascar, where it occurs in Tapia forest and wooded grassland-bushland mosaic vegetation at elevations between 500 m and 2,300 m ( MADAGASCAR CATALOGUE, 2017).

Notes. – Neocussonia bojeri is the only member of the genus that is adapted to areas with prolonged dry periods, and its fire-resistant habit enables it to survive even in areas that are subjected to frequent burning.
