A nice piece, Philippe!
Just a small side note: Madagascar changed its administrational structure some years ago, there are no provinces anymore, they were re-structured to regions.
So in order to be politically accurate, please chance your locality information to "Ambositra District, Amoron'i Mania Region, Madagascar" which is the locality for the hematite roses from that area.
Thanks & best regards
Tobi

I guess the FMF database of localities needs to be updated, as that is what he has used? We often have to do that as countries change their regions
