Duguetia magnolioidea

Unknown

Overview

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

Duguetia magnolioidea faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development further compound these threats, reducing the quality and connectivity of suitable habitat for this endemic tree species.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, occurring in humid lowland and montane forests. It typically grows in well-drained soils within primary and secondary forest formations at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,000 meters.
