Dasymaschalon scandens
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dasymaschalon scandens faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. The species' dependence on primary and secondary tropical forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the humid forest conditions essential for this climbing shrub's survival.
Habitat
This climbing shrub inhabits tropical rainforests and secondary forests across Southeast Asia, typically growing in the understory and forest edges. It thrives in humid, shaded environments with rich, well-drained soils characteristic of lowland and hill forests.
