Ixora lawsonii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ixora lawsonii faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and urban development. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across isolated forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the moist forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
Ixora lawsonii inhabits tropical moist forests and forest edges, typically found in areas with consistent humidity and partial shade. The species grows in well-drained soils within primary and secondary forest ecosystems at low to moderate elevations.
