Description
For a brief description see the African Plant database.[4]
Habitat and ecology
A. myrsinifolius has been found at altitudes of 1900–3300 m in montane or swamp forests and in heaths.[1] Recorded hosts are Myrsine and Erica mannii (at the higher altitudes).[1]
Threats
At lower altitudes, intense human population pressure means that outside the protected areas, forest is disappearing due to agriculture and logging.[1] At these altitudes, the host, Myrsine, is being cleared for agriculture.[1] At the higher altitudes, the heath, Erica mannii, is probably safe.[1]
