Pseudolmedia hirtula

Unknown

Overview

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

Pseudolmedia hirtula faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its Central American range. The species' dependence on mature forest canopy makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and conversion of primary forests to cattle ranching and crop cultivation. Habitat fragmentation isolates remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration potential.

Threat summary

This tree species inhabits lowland and montane tropical rainforests of Central America, typically occurring in the forest canopy and understory of primary and mature secondary forests. It thrives in humid conditions with consistent rainfall and well-drained soils at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,500 meters.
