Inga cynometrifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inga cynometrifolia faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development further reduce available habitat, while the species' specific ecological requirements limit its ability to adapt to degraded environments.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland and montane Atlantic Forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, typically occurring in primary and secondary forest formations. It grows in humid forest environments with well-drained soils, often along forest edges and in partially disturbed areas within the broader forest matrix.
