Habitat / Ecology
|
Very high ecological requirements: average temperature < or = 18°C (alt lower limit of 1200m) and > 14°C (alt limit > 1900m). At these alt.. in the dry season. Temp. min = -5°C. Characteristic of the mountainous stage of the central domain. Heliophilic species. (more abundant under Tapia than in dense forest). Rare species in the remains of primary forest while abundant under eucalyptus trees. High altitude hygrophilic forests of the Centre (Charrier 1978). Semi-wet forest. Well resistant to arid conditions (Leroy 1962b). |

Erected habit. Small leaves without sclerides. Possible Self-fertile (fruits/boutons isolated under plastic bags). Heliophil species, very fertile (more abundant under Tapia than in dense forest). limite de aire de buxifolia, at few km far from the area boundary of C. buxifolia, grow C. alleizetti, C. coursiana, C. arenesiana and to the south C. sakarahae. solitary flowers but it is possible to see flowers gathered in a corymb on very vigorous stems. Flowering in Nov-dec, fruit in March-May, dark purple fruits with sudden coloring at the end of maturity. |
