Passiflora erythrophylla
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Passiflora erythrophylla faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as tropical forests are cleared for agriculture and urban development throughout its range. The species' specialized pollination requirements and limited dispersal ability make fragmented populations particularly vulnerable to local extinctions. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the temperature and precipitation patterns essential for this passion vine's reproductive success.
Habitat
This passion vine inhabits tropical and subtropical moist forests, typically growing as a climbing vine in forest edges and clearings where it can access adequate sunlight. The species shows preference for well-drained soils in areas with consistent moisture and moderate elevation ranges.
