Asteropeia rhopaloides is a shrub or small tree from Madagascar, found in humid and subhumid forests at low to mid elevations. It is rarely grown outside its native range, so care guidance comes mainly from its natural habitat.
Asteropeia rhopaloides is a species of flowering plant in the Asteropeiaceae family. It is a shrub or tree endemic to Madagascar. It is native to eastern Madagascar from Loky Manambato to Tsitongambarika and Fort-Dauphin, and to the northeastern Sambirano region including Manongarivo Special Reserve, where it grows low and mid-elevation humid and subhumid forests from 400 to 1,650 meters elevation.
