Ixora stokesii

Declining

Overview

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

Ixora stokesii faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and urban development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across increasingly isolated forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that may exceed the species' tolerance limits.

Threat summary

Habitat

Ixora stokesii inhabits tropical and subtropical moist forests, typically occurring in understory and forest edge environments. The species is adapted to humid conditions with consistent moisture levels and partial shade provided by the forest canopy.
