Trees to 30 m tall, trunk to 45 cm diameter; young twigs cylindrical, 0.8-2.1 mm diameter, glabrous; bark medium gray, slightly rugose. Leaves opposite, persistent; bud scales persistent; blades dark green above, lighter below, elliptic, 3-12 3 1.5-5 cm, coriaceous, glabrous, domatia rare, base acute to attenuate, margin flat to slightly revolute, apex acute to acuminate, the acumen 1-11 mm long, midrib slightly sunken above, slightly raised below, secondary veins conspicuous, 6-11 per side, 3-17 mm apart, looping 1-5 mm from the margin; petiole medium gray, 2.5-10 3 0.8-2.4 mm, entirely woody, glabrous. Thyrses fasciculate, pauciflorous, compact; peduncle 2.5-10 mm long, moderately pubescent; pedicel 3-13 mm long, moderately pubescent; calyx moderately to sparsely pubescent outside, glabrous inside, lobes oblong, 1-2.5 3 1-2.5 mm; corolla red, cupuliform, 2-7 mm long, glabrous on both sides, the tube 1.5-4.5 mm long, lobes widely ovate, apex cucullate; corona present, (0-) 1-2 mm long, undivided; stamens 1.2-2.8 mm long, anthers widely obovate, 1-1.3 mm long; pistil 1.5-3 mm long, stigma capitate. Fruiting pedicel 2-21 3 0.7-2.4 mm; young fruits green, dark red when mature, subglobose, 14-23 3 11-20.5 mm, surface smooth, apex flat to bluntly pointed, style persistent; dry pericarp 0.6-1.4 mm thick; endocarp crustaceous; seed 7-14 3 6-16 mm.

Distribution, ecology and phenology

Noronhia louvelii occurs in low- to high-elevation humid forests in the east, from Daraina to Vatomandry and in the Centre-West near Tsiroanomandidy ( Fig. 27 View Fig ). It produces flowers and fruits throughout the year except in March.

Conservation status

Known from 61 collections representing 57 localities, Noronhia louvelii is quite widespread. With an EOO of 141,234 km 2, an AOO of 192 km 2, and 39 subpopulations representing 26 locations, of which 10 occur within protected areas (Analamazaotra, Anjanaharibe-Sud, Anjozorobe-Angavo, Betampona, Loky-Manambato, Makira, Marojejy, Masoala, Tsaratanana-Ambohimirahavavy-Corridor Marojejy, and Zahamena), it is assigned a preliminary status of “Least Concern”.

Notes

Noronhia louvelii can be recognized by its coriaceous, elliptic leaf blades, cupuliform, red flowers, and crustaceous, subglobose fruits subtended by short pedicels. It differs from N. luteola by its woody (vs. non-woody) petiole, elliptic (vs. oblong to ovate) leaf blades, cupuliform (vs. subrotate), red (vs. white) flowers, and crustaceous (vs. woody) endocarp. The collection Morat 4627 from humid forest around Tsiroanomandidy in the Bongolava region extends the range of this species to the west. A collection of another species bears the same number as the type specimen of N. louvelii : viz. Dalbergia maritima R. Vig. (holo-: Louvel 79 [P00060529], from eastern Madagascar).
