Field work, cartography and floristic analyses proved us the existence of a large physical and botanical unity on the South Eastern Madagasc ar lava flows. Today colonized by herbaceous vegetation cover, it was the old seating of the Humbertia madagascariensis Lam. (Convolvulaceae ) Eastern lowland forest of which some traces still exist today.
