About

Pararistolochia enricoi is an endemic Malagasy species of plant in the birthwort family, the only species belonging to the genus Pararistolochia within the island.

Where it grows

Pararistolochia enricoi is only known from the eroded limestone formations ("Tsingy" in Malagasy) of Beanka in western Madagascar. Its ecology seems to be strongly related to the climax deciduous forest type, where it grows in shaded conditions. According to the collection period, anthesis takes place in November and fruits ripen between December and January. The plant is deciduous and leaves are absent during the dry season, generally from May to October.
