Ixora albersii

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Ixora albersii faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion across its limited range in the Philippines. The species' restriction to lowland and montane forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion. Mining activities and infrastructure development further fragment remaining forest patches, while climate change threatens to alter the specific environmental conditions this endemic shrub requires.
