Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Dorstenia roigii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited Cuban range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while collection pressure for horticultural trade poses an additional risk to remaining wild populations.
