Celtis madagascariensis is a small deciduous tree that is native to Madagascar. It can reach heights of 7 to 10 meters and has smooth, whitish to grey bark. The leaves are simple and ovate-elliptic in shape, with a width of 7-10 cm and a length of 2.5-3 cm. The tree produces both male and hermaphrodite flowers, which are creamy in color and have 5 sepals and 5 stamens. The flowers are found on axillary inflorescences, with lower ones containing only male flowers or a combination of male and hermaphrodite flowers. The fruit of the tree is a drupe, which starts off green and turns red or brown as it matures. It is about 12 x 8 mm in size and contains a single seed. Celtis madagascariensis is found in the northern, western, and southwestern regions of Madagascar, typically along forest margins and at elevations of up to 1,200 meters.
