Habenaria finetiana

Unknown

Overview

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

Habenaria finetiana faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in Southeast Asia. The species' specialized pollination requirements and narrow habitat preferences make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation. Collection pressure for the horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations, while climate change threatens the cool, humid conditions this orchid requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This terrestrial orchid inhabits cool, humid montane forests and forest margins at elevations between 800-2000 meters. It typically grows in partially shaded areas with rich, well-drained soils and requires specific mycorrhizal associations for successful establishment.
