Distribution and habitat. – Tannodia perrieri is distributed throughout the east of Madagascar in mid to low elevation tropical evergreen forest.

Observations. – Tannodia nitida was distinguished by its author as having glossier, more markedly bi-coloured, and more strongly triplinerved leaves. However, the widely distributed T. perrieri displays enough variation in leaf lustre, colour, and venation to easily accommodate Service Forestier 8710, the type of T. nitida .
