Oreogrammitis miltiblepharis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Oreogrammitis miltiblepharis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural expansion in its montane forest range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human encroachment. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required by this epiphytic fern in cloud forest ecosystems.
Habitat
This epiphytic fern inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations typically between 1,000-2,500 meters. It grows on tree trunks and branches in areas with consistent moisture and filtered sunlight characteristic of upper elevation forest canopies.
