Magnolia reynelii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Magnolia reynelii faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation in Peru's montane cloud forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly for coffee cultivation and cattle ranching, continues to reduce its already limited range. The species' restricted distribution to a few localities in the Andes makes it extremely vulnerable to localized habitat destruction and climate-induced shifts in cloud forest zones.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests in the Peruvian Andes, typically occurring at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters. It grows in humid, mist-shrouded forests with persistent cloud cover that provides the moisture-rich conditions essential for its survival.
