Capitanopsis brevilabra is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is an herb or shrub native to southeastern Madagascar. It flowers in March.[1]
Range and habitat[edit]
Capitanopsis brevilabra is found only in the Sainte Luce area in southeastern coastal Madagascar, where it grows in humid littoral forests between sea level and 50 meters elevation.[1]
The species has a restricted range, and is threatened with habitat loss from deforestation and mining. A portion of the species' range is in the Ambato Atsinanana protected area. The species' conservation status is assessed as Endangered.[1]
Taxonomy[edit]
It was formerly treated as the only species, Dauphinea brevilabra, in the genus Dauphinea. A phylogenetic study in 2018 found that it was embedded in the genus Capitanopsis, and it was transferred to that genus.[3]
