Hygrophila perrieri

A little-known Hygrophila from the hot lowlands of north-western Madagascar, recorded only three times, near the Betsiboka basin. Like its relatives, it is presumably a marsh or streamside herb that lives through a long monsoon wet season and a dry season when wetlands shrink.

Where it grows wild

Lowland wetlands, around 60–100 m, in a seasonally dry tropical region. The species account is thin; this assumes the amphibious marsh-margin habit typical of the genus.

The recorded sites lie at about 60–100 m.
