Dypsis monostachya Jum. (1918:36)
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Conservation Status
Missing (Rakotoarinivo & Dransfield, 2012) or Extinct (Dransfield & Beentje, 1995; Humphreys et al., 2019; POWO, 2024)
Last record: 1923 (Rakotoarinivo & Dransfield, 2012)
IUCN RedList status: Data Deficient
"For example, three species from the Bay of Antongil region, Dypsis lucens, D. monostachya and D. plurisecta have not been seen in the wild since 1930; their habitats would correspond to the coastal plain currently converted into cultivated fields around the town of Maroantsetra. Despite recent expeditions to the forests around this town, and to Masoala National Park and Makira Natural Park, these species remain to be rediscovered."
