Damrongia cyanantha
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Damrongia cyanantha faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in Thailand's montane forests, where logging and agricultural expansion have fragmented its specialized ecosystem. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while collection pressure for the horticultural trade poses an additional threat to wild populations.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane forests and rocky outcrops in Thailand's mountainous regions, typically growing in shaded, humid conditions on limestone substrates. It occurs at elevations between 800-1,500 meters in specialized microhabitats that provide the specific moisture and light conditions required for its survival.
