Range and habitat
Podocarpus rostratus is native to the high-elevation ericoid thickets in Madagascar's highlands, between 1,800 and 2,400 meters elevation. It has been recorded in found in Antsiranana, Fianarantsoa, Mahajanga, and Toamasina provinces, including the Tsaratanana Massif.[1] P. rostratus is intolerant of fires, which are frequent in the ericoid thickets ecoregion. It is typically found in less fire-prone habitats, including open rocky slopes composed of silicaceous rocks, and wetter sites along streams.[1]
