Eranthemum austrosinensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eranthemum austrosinensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in southern China. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while urban development continues to encroach on remaining forest patches. Collection pressure for horticultural trade has also contributed to population declines in accessible areas.
Habitat
This species inhabits subtropical evergreen forests and forest margins in mountainous regions of southern China, typically growing in partially shaded understory environments. It occurs at elevations between 200-800 meters in areas with high humidity and well-drained soils.
