Glycosmis longisepala
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Glycosmis longisepala faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further threaten the specialized forest ecosystems this citrus relative depends upon for survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical lowland and montane forests in Southeast Asia, typically growing in the understory of primary and secondary forest formations. It requires well-drained forest soils and appears to be adapted to specific microclimatic conditions within intact forest ecosystems.
