Rhopalocarpus lucidus | |
Rhopalocarpus lucidus is a widespread species in Madagascar. Its habitat is forests and thickets from sea-level to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) altitude. Some populations are within protected areas.[1][4]
Because Rhopalocarpus lucidus is used as firewood and for making tools and rope, subsistence harvesting is a threat.[1]
