Inga bullatorugosa
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inga bullatorugosa faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further compound these pressures, while climate change threatens to alter the specific microclimatic conditions this endemic tree requires for survival.
Habitat
This endemic leguminous tree inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically occurring in primary forest understory and forest edges. It requires well-drained soils and specific humidity conditions found in intact forest ecosystems.
