Indigofera pobeguinii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Indigofera pobeguinii faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited West African range. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further fragmented the remaining suitable habitat patches. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with small population sizes unable to withstand continued habitat pressures.
Habitat
This leguminous shrub inhabits dry savanna woodlands and rocky outcrops in West Africa, typically growing in well-drained soils at elevations between 200-800 meters. It shows preference for areas with seasonal rainfall patterns and can tolerate moderately degraded habitats along forest edges.
