Griffinia intermedia

Unknown

Overview

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

Griffinia intermedia faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to fragment the remaining forest patches where this bulbous plant occurs. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat conversion, as entire populations can be eliminated by single development projects.

Threat summary
