Alphonsea monogyna

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Alphonsea monogyna faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging activities and palm oil plantation development have eliminated much of its original habitat, while the slow growth rate typical of Annonaceae species limits natural recovery potential.

Threat summary

Habitat

Alphonsea monogyna inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forest areas in Southeast Asia, typically occurring in the understory and forest edges. The species prefers well-drained soils in humid forest environments below 500 meters elevation.
