ipuolella

Ipuolella is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The genus was described in 1903 by William Henry Harvey. Plants in the genus Ipuolella are native to Madagascar.

The genus Ipuolella is characterized by its small, shrubby habit. The leaves are simple, opposite, and ovate to elliptical in shape. The flowers are typically white or pale yellow and are borne in terminal cymes. The fruit is a small capsule containing numerous seeds.

Species within Ipuolella are generally found in dry or mesic forest habitats. They are often found growing in rocky areas or on sandy soils. The distribution of Ipuolella species is limited to certain regions of Madagascar.

The exact ecological role and conservation status of Ipuolella species are not extensively documented, but like many endemic Madagascan plants, they may be vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation. Further research may be needed to fully understand the biodiversity and ecological significance of this genus.
