It was initially described in 1939 by Fernand Angel.[1] EtymologyThe specific name, decaryi, is in honor of French botanist Raymond Decary.[2] Geographic rangeBrookesia decaryi can only be found on the island of Madagascar in Ankarafantsika National Park (Parc National d'Ankarafantsika), northwest Madagascar.[3]HabitatB. decaryi can only be found at elevations under {{convert|200|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level.[1][3] The species can be found over an area of {{convert|1300|km2|abbr=on}} – the size of the Parc National d'Ankarafantsika – in dry forest.[3]ReproductionDetails about the reproduction of B. decaryi are unknown, although "clutch sizes" of between two and five eggs have previously been found.[3] BehaviorB. decaryi is diurnal (sleeps at night, awake in the day) and sleeps at a mean height of {{convert|0.17|m|ft}}, mainly on small plants, logs (fallen), and small trees. Conservation statusB. decaryi is classed as endangered by the IUCN,[4] and the population is decreasing. It was described by Angel in 1939.[3] It is protected under the laws of Malagasy (Madagascar), although it can be collected, if authorised. However, collection in the Parc National d'Ankarafantsika is not permitted. The spiny leaf chameleon is threatened by wood harvesting, fires, farming, and ranching.[3][5]{{sfn|Ramanamanjato|Rabibisoa|2002|pp=98–104}} Common namesB. decaryi is commonly known as Decary's leaf chameleon, the spiny leaf chameleon,[3][6] or Decary's pygmy chameleon.[2]References{{Commons category|Brookesia decaryi}}1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species?genus=Brookesia&species=decaryi |title=Brookesia decaryi.
