Cynanchum densiflorum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cynanchum densiflorum faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented and isolated. Invasive plant species compete directly with this native vine for resources and growing space, further reducing available habitat.
Habitat
This climbing vine inhabits coastal scrublands, woodland edges, and disturbed areas with well-drained soils. It typically grows in semi-arid environments where it can climb on shrubs and small trees for support.
