Calophyllum confusum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Calophyllum confusum faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Commercial logging operations target these valuable timber trees directly, while agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations continue to fragment remaining forest patches. The species' slow growth rate and specific soil requirements make natural regeneration difficult in disturbed areas.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and mixed dipterocarp forests, typically growing on well-drained soils at elevations below 500 meters. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest formations across its Southeast Asian range.
