Maillardia montana, synonyms including Maillardia pendula, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae, native to Mayotte, the Aldabras, and Madagascar in the western Indian Ocean.[1] It was first described by Jacques Désiré Leandri in 1948.[2]
Conservation
[edit]Maillardia pendula was assessed as "critically endangered" in the 1998 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to the island of Grande Terre in the Aldabras.[3] As of February 2023[update], M. pendula was regarded as a synonym of Maillardia montana, which has a wider distribution, including Madagascar.[1]
