Dialyceras coriaceum is a tree in the family Sphaerosepalaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
Distribution and habitat
Dialyceras coriaceum is known only from populations in the northeastern regions of Sava, Analanjirofo and Atsinanana.[3] Its habitat is humid evergreen forests from sea-level to 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. Some populations are within protected areas.[1][3]
Threats
Dialyceras coriaceum is threatened by cyclones and shifting patterns of agriculture. Because lemurs disperse the tree's seeds, threats to the lemur would in turn affect the tree's reproduction.[1]
