Hyptis pseudoglauca
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Hyptis pseudoglauca faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations increasingly fragmented and isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further reduced available habitat, while invasive plant species compete for resources in degraded areas.
Habitat
This species typically inhabits dry tropical forests, woodland edges, and scrubland areas at moderate elevations. It shows preference for well-drained soils in semi-arid regions with seasonal rainfall patterns.
