Lagerstroemia intermedia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Lagerstroemia intermedia faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its native range in Southeast Asia. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations targeting its valuable timber, while agricultural expansion and urban development continue to fragment remaining forest populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the species' reproductive cycles and seedling establishment.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical and subtropical moist forests, typically found in lowland and hill forest ecosystems across Southeast Asia. It grows in both primary and secondary forest formations, often along forest edges and in areas with well-drained soils.
