Dialyceras discolor is a tree in the family Sphaerosepalaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar .
Distribution and habitat
Dialyceras discolor is known only from a few locations in the northeastern region of Sava.[3] Its habitat is humid evergreen forests from sea-level to 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. None of the locations are within protected areas.[1][3]
Threats
Dialyceras discolor is threatened because lemurs, and other animals, disperse the tree's seeds. Threats to these animals would in turn affect the tree's reproduction.[1]
