Mandevilla crassinoda

Unknown

Overview

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

Mandevilla crassinoda faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in southeastern Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while cattle ranching and sugarcane cultivation continue to reduce available forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this vine requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This climbing vine inhabits humid Atlantic Forest remnants and forest edges in southeastern Brazil, typically growing in areas with consistent moisture and partial shade. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest formations, often along forest margins where it can climb into the canopy.
