Carlephyton diegonse

Carlephyton diegonse is a species in the genus Carlephyton endemic to Madagascar. It is different from the other two species in the genus due to its directly superimposed male and female cones on the spadix and because there are no bisexual flowers and the top of the spadix consists of only sterile male flowers. The lead is pale green and shortly decurrent on the petiole. It likes a pH of 5.4-5.8 and can be found growing with Colletogyne perrieri and C. diegoense.
