Eremolaena darainensis

Eremolaena darainensis is a Madagascar forest tree, known only from the Sava region, that grows up to about 12 metres tall. It is a wild species with no horticultural history, so growing it in cultivation is not practical; the key is that it lives in semi-deciduous forest on steep slopes.
