Barringtonia latiffiana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Barringtonia latiffiana faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Logging operations and agricultural expansion have fragmented remaining populations, while the species' slow growth rate and specific pollination requirements make recovery particularly challenging. Urban development and palm oil plantations continue to encroach on critical habitat areas.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and coastal forest margins in Southeast Asia, typically occurring in areas with high humidity and well-drained soils. It is often found in secondary forests and forest edges, though primary forest populations are considered most stable.
