Description
Ecology
Lepidagathis dalzelliana grows on high-altitude lateritic plateaus from 1000 to 1298 m a.s.l., in accumulated soil and among small stone boulders in association with Ischaemum impressum, Lepidagathis mahakassapae, Justicia trinervia and Blumea malcolmii. It was also observed that Crematogaster sp. ants were feeding and passing the nectar droplets to each other.
