Cupaniopsis strigosa
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cupaniopsis strigosa faces significant pressure from habitat loss due to agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in eastern Australia. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while fragmentation of remaining forest patches reduces population connectivity and genetic diversity. Climate change poses an additional long-term threat through altered rainfall patterns and increased fire frequency in its native woodland habitats.
Habitat
This species occurs in dry sclerophyll forests and woodland communities, typically on sandy or rocky soils in coastal and near-coastal areas of eastern Australia. It favors open woodland environments with well-drained substrates and is often associated with other native Australian flora in these temperate forest ecosystems.
