Glochidion emarginatum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Glochidion emarginatum faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging operations and palm oil plantation development continue to reduce available forest cover. Urban development and infrastructure projects further compound these pressures, leaving remaining populations increasingly isolated in forest fragments.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forest areas in Southeast Asia, typically occurring in understory environments with high humidity and filtered sunlight. It grows in well-drained soils along forest edges and in partially disturbed forest areas up to 800 meters elevation.
