Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Anisophyllea cinnamomoides faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its Southeast Asian range, particularly in Malaysia and Thailand where lowland forests are rapidly being converted to palm oil plantations and urban development. The species' restriction to specific soil types and elevation ranges makes it especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated and unable to support viable populations.
Habitat
This tree species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and mixed dipterocarp forests, typically found on well-drained soils at elevations below 800 meters. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest formations across peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand, and parts of Borneo.
