Weinmannia bojeriana Tul. View in CoL (species-group G)

Ann. Sci. Nat. 4 ser. 8: 155 (1857). — Type: Bojer

s.n., Analamazoatra, 18°58’S, 48°25’E (holo-, P!) GoogleMaps .

COLLECTION EXAMINED FROM MAROJEJY. — MADAGASCAR, Prov. Antsiranana: Rasoavimbahoaka et al. 22, aux environs du sommet de l’Est, 1300- 1500 m, 14°29’S, 49°38’E GoogleMaps (MO).

This species is widespread in the eastern uplands, but the only specimen examined from Marojejy has more pubescent leaves, shorter petioles, and more prominent venation than is typical in W. bojeriana . Still, it is placed here based on its unifoliolate, medium-sized, serrate leaves and spikes conjested with fruits. A collection from Mt. Beondroka (Humbert 23489) cited by BERNARDI (1965) under W. bojeriana was not seen. Some sterile specimens inadequate for positive identification may represent additional collections of this species.
