Horsfieldia longiflora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Horsfieldia longiflora faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations targeting its primary lowland forest habitats, while agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations continue to fragment remaining populations. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the humid tropical conditions essential for this tree's reproduction and survival.
Habitat
Horsfieldia longiflora inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests across Southeast Asia, typically occurring at elevations below 800 meters. The species thrives in humid, well-drained soils within the forest understory and canopy gaps of both primary and selectively logged forests.
