Memecylon royenii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Memecylon royenii faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and urban development. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across isolated forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the specific moisture conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical moist forests and forest edges, typically found in areas with consistent moisture and partial shade. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest habitats within its limited geographic range.
