Ormosia grandistipulata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ormosia grandistipulata faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in tropical montane forests. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have fragmented remaining populations, while the species' slow growth rate and specific soil requirements make natural regeneration difficult in disturbed areas. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the temperature and moisture conditions of its high-altitude forest habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical montane forests at elevations between 1,000-2,500 meters, typically growing in well-drained soils along forest edges and clearings. It requires the specific microclimate conditions found in cloud forests and upper montane rainforest zones.
