It is specifically found in the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"131\"\u003eSofia region\u003c\/b\u003e, near Analalava. Named after the French botanist André Guillaumin, it is a protected species listed under CITES Appendix II due to its extremely slow growth rate and limited geographical range in the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHabitat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eIn its natural environment, this species inhabits \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"50\"\u003edry, deciduous forests and rocky shrublands\u003c\/b\u003e.

The habitat is characterized by a long, harsh dry season and a short monsoon period.
