Glochidion longfieldiae

Declining

Overview

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

Glochidion longfieldiae faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and urban development. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with fragmentation of remaining forest patches limiting gene flow between populations. Mining activities and infrastructure development in its range further compound habitat loss pressures.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits tropical and subtropical moist forests, typically occurring in lowland and montane forest ecosystems. It grows in areas with well-drained soils and partial to full canopy cover, often found along forest edges and in secondary growth areas.
