Lecomtella madagascariensis is a Madagascan plant species in the grass family, the only species in genus Lecomtella and tribe Lecomtelleae.
The species and genus were described by Aimée Antoinette Camus in 1925.[2] L. madagascariensis is perennial, has culms 50–300 cm long, and resembles bamboo, to which it is however unrelated. Contrarily to many other species in subfamily Panicoideae, this grass uses C3 photosynthesis. It is only found in the Andringitra Massif of central Madagascar, at elevations of 1600–2400 meters, and critically endangered.[1]
The genus is included in the tribe Paspaleae in a 2015 classification[3] although a phylogenetic study had shown in 2013 that it is isolated within the subfamily Panicoideae and best treated in a separate tribe Lecomtelleae.[1]
