Cymbopetalum parviflorum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cymbopetalum parviflorum faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Central American tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it extremely vulnerable to ongoing agricultural expansion and logging activities that continue to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid tropical lowland and premontane forests, typically found in undisturbed primary forest understory and forest edges at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,200 meters. It requires well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels characteristic of Central American rainforest ecosystems.
