Odontosoria reyesii

Unknown

Overview

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

Odontosoria reyesii faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in the Philippines. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have fragmented the remaining forest patches where this fern species occurs. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with several known populations already eliminated by human activities.
