Antidesma obliquinervium
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Antidesma obliquinervium faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further compound these pressures, while the slow growth rate typical of Antidesma species limits natural recovery potential.
Habitat
This species inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests, typically found in lowland and hill forest environments up to moderate elevations. It grows in the understory and forest edges of humid tropical forests, often associated with well-drained soils in areas of high biodiversity.
