Antidesma subolivaceum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Antidesma subolivaceum 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, while logging operations continue to reduce the quality of remaining forest patches. Urban development and palm oil plantations have converted significant portions of its native habitat, leaving isolated populations with reduced genetic diversity.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests at elevations typically below 500 meters. It grows in the understory and forest edges of humid evergreen forests, often along riverbanks and in areas with rich, well-drained soils.
