Campomanesia neriiflora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Campomanesia neriiflora faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching throughout its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to fragment remaining forest patches, while selective logging targets mature trees that this species depends on for reproduction. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns critical for fruit development and seed dispersal.
Habitat
This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments in southeastern Brazil, typically occurring in humid montane forests between 800-1,200 meters elevation. It requires well-drained soils and partial canopy cover, often found along forest edges and in secondary growth areas adjacent to primary forest.
