Overview

Henriettea ramiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Melastomataceae. It is a tree native to the tropical Americas, including Cuba, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, the Guianas, and northern, northeastern, and central Brazil.

Henriettea ramiflora faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agriculture and urban development across its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat loss, while climate change poses additional threats to its specialized montane forest ecosystem.
