Crossosperma cauliflora

Declining

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Crossosperma cauliflora faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in tropical rainforests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining populations become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized forest ecosystems this species requires for survival.

Threat summary
