Magnolia longipedunculata

Unknown

Overview

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

Magnolia longipedunculata faces severe population decline due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across small forest patches. Illegal logging and collection for ornamental purposes have further reduced wild populations, while the species' slow growth rate and specific pollination requirements limit natural recovery.

Threat summary

Habitat

This magnolia species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid subtropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It requires well-drained, acidic soils and thrives in the misty, cool conditions typical of cloud forest ecosystems with high humidity and frequent fog cover.

Why is Magnolia longipedunculata classified as Critically Endangered?
Magnolia longipedunculata is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Magnolia longipedunculata faces severe population decline due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across small forest patches. Illegal logging and collection for ornamental purposes have further reduced wild populations, while the species' slow growth rate and specific pollination requirements limit natural recovery.
Where does Magnolia longipedunculata live?
Magnolia longipedunculata occurs in China. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Magnolia longipedunculata?
The main threats to Magnolia longipedunculata are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
