Grewia bilocularis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Grewia bilocularis faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its native range in southern Africa. The species' preferred woodland and savanna habitats are increasingly fragmented by cultivation and infrastructure projects. Overgrazing by livestock in communal lands further degrades remaining habitat patches, while collection for traditional medicinal uses adds additional pressure on wild populations.
Habitat
Grewia bilocularis occurs in dry woodland, savanna, and bushland environments, typically on sandy or rocky soils. The species is adapted to semi-arid conditions and is often found in areas with seasonal rainfall patterns across southern Africa.
