ENEndangered
Eugenia sripadaense
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia sripadaense faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its montane forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and human settlement. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change threatens to shift suitable habitat zones beyond the species' ability to adapt or migrate.
Habitat
This endemic species inhabits montane tropical forests at elevations between 1,000-2,000 meters in Sri Lanka's central highlands. It typically grows in moist, shaded understory environments with rich organic soils and consistent cloud cover.
