Inversodicraea pepehabai
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inversodicraea pepehabai faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and human settlement development within its limited range in Cameroon. The species' restriction to specific waterfall and rocky stream environments makes it particularly vulnerable to water pollution from agricultural runoff and changes in water flow patterns. Mining activities in the region pose additional risks through habitat degradation and water contamination.
Habitat
This aquatic plant species is endemic to fast-flowing rocky streams and waterfall environments in the tropical forests of Cameroon. It grows attached to rocks in areas with constant water flow and high humidity typical of montane forest watersheds.
