Pararistolochia preussii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pararistolochia preussii faces severe threats from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited West African range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging activities and palm oil plantations continue to reduce the remaining forest patches where this climbing vine can survive.
Habitat
This climbing vine inhabits the understory of primary and secondary tropical rainforests in West Africa. It requires the humid, shaded conditions of intact forest canopy and is typically found growing on trees and shrubs in areas with consistent moisture levels.
