ICONOGRAPHY. — Montero Muñoz et al. (2020a); Fig. 46C. ETYMOLOGY. — The epithet refers to type locality, the Isalo massif (Madagascar), to which this species appears to be endemic. DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. — Endemic to Madagascar (Ihorombe).Dry deciduous forest.On sandstone. Altitudinal range 746-900 m (Fig.40). PRELIMINARY CONSERVATION ASSESSMENT. — The EOO and AOO of A. isaloensis are estimated to be 8 km 2. This species appears to be a narrow endemic known only from the Isalo massif. All collections are from the Isalo National Park, which has been a category II protected area (Dudley 2008) since 1962. This protected area is threatened by burning to improve grazing, which is a cultural heritage of the Bara people, as well as logging and the impact of introduced species (Kull 2004; Swierkosz 2007; Andreone et al. 2013). In recognition of its restricted geographic range (a single known location) and the cited threats, A. isaloensis is assigned a preliminary conservation status of Critically Endangered: CR B2ab(i,iii,iv). MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 3 collections. Madagascar: Jacquemin, H. H278J (P[P04804757, P04804758]); Keraudren-Aymonin, M. 402 (P[P04804755]); Labat, J.-N. 2119 (K, P[P00513133]). DESCRIPTION Shrubs or subshrubs, leaf persistence unknown, to 0.8 m tall, monoecious. Branches puberulent with sparse simple, short, trichomes, glabrescent when mature. Axillary buds ovoid, to 1 × 0.7 mm, perulate, perules 2, valvate, membranous, brownish, densely pubescent with simple, short, appressed trichomes. Stipules to 1.2(-2) mm long on young branches, sometimes reduced to 0.5 mm long on older branches, triangular-lanceolate, apex acute, with appressed trichomes, margin with sessile glands. Petioles (2-) 3-4.5 cm long, indumentum similar to that on young branches. Leaf blades (5-)6-10(-11.5) × 2-3.5(-4) cm, elliptic to oblong-lanceolate, membranous; base rounded to subcuneate; apex subacuminate,acumen to 10mm long,rounded, mucronate; margin sparsely serrulate, teeth minute, obtuse, callose-edged; upper surface laxly pubescent with simple, short trichomes; lower surface indumentum similar to that on upper surface but denser; axils of the secondary veins with pocket-shaped domatia; venation prominent on upper surface, pinnate, secondary veins 5-10 per side. Stipels absent. Inflorescences spiciform, male, and solitary female bracts, axillary. Male inflorescences to 8.5 cm long, filiform; peduncle to 7 mm long, rachis clearly visible,both with indumentum similar to that on young branches; flowers glomerate; bracts to 0.3 mm long, ovate, sparsely hairy with simple, short trichomes, and with some sessile glands at base. Solitary female bracts sessile, enlarging in fruit to 3.5 × 5 mm, subreniform, appressed puberulent, with sparse resinous drops, margin crenate to subentire; sterile bracts sometimes present, solitary, similar to the female bracts but longer, to 1 × 1.2 cm, suborbicular; bracteoles absent. Male flowers subsessile; buds to 0.5 mm diameter, puberulent. Female flowers 1 per bract, sessile; sepals 3, to 0.3 mm long, triangular, puberulent; ovary c. 1 mm diameter, 3-lobed, papillose, papillae acute, ending in hyaline trichome to 0.5 mm long, surface hispidulous; styles to 8 mm long, connate at base, sparsely hairy, each divided into 5-6 slender segments. Allomorphic flowers not seen. Capsules to 3 mm diameter, papillose-hispid, papillae acute, ending in hyaline trichome to 0.8 mm long, surface puberulent. Seeds too young to describe.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
