Sartidia perrieri

Synonyms: Aristida perrieri (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

Sartidia perrieri is a grass species endemic to Madagascar, known from only one collected individual and now considered extinct. Henri Perrier de la Bâthie, in 1914, collected a plant in the central region of Madagascar, near Antsirabe, at an elevation of 1,900 m (6,200 ft), where it grew on sandstone rocks in tapia woodland. He wrote in the description of the dried herbarium specimen that he only ever saw one individual of this species, suggesting it was already very rare at that time. Aimée Antoinette Camus named it after its collector and described it as new species in the genus Aristida; Pierre Bourreil later transferred it to Sartidia.
