Liparis bautingensis
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Liparis bautingensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its limited montane forest range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while collection pressure for the orchid trade poses an additional threat to remaining populations.
Habitat
This orchid species inhabits montane forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters, typically growing as an epiphyte on moss-covered tree trunks and branches. It requires the cool, humid conditions characteristic of tropical mountain cloud forests.
