Clidemia campii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Clidemia campii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in the Caribbean. Deforestation for coffee plantations and cattle ranching has fragmented its forest habitat, while invasive plant species compete for resources in disturbed areas. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction and climate-induced changes in precipitation patterns.
Habitat
Clidemia campii inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forest edges at elevations between 800-1,500 meters. The species typically grows in partially shaded understory environments with high moisture levels and well-drained soils.
