This member of the Apocynaceae family is found on Isalo mountains between 300 and 1000 m. It grows on sandstone escarpment with some humus. The shape of the caudex looks like a more or less regular balloon. The stem will grow up to two centimetres in diameter and reach a height of  60 centimetres. The leaves are lanceolate and smaller than other rosulatum.
