Passiflora bucaramangensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Passiflora bucaramangensis faces severe pressure from rapid urban expansion around Bucaramanga, Colombia, where its cloud forest habitat is being converted for residential and agricultural development. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while climate change threatens to shift the specific temperature and humidity conditions required by this high-altitude passion vine.
Habitat
This endemic passion vine inhabits cloud forests and humid montane slopes in the Cordillera Oriental of Colombia, typically occurring at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters. It requires the consistent moisture and moderate temperatures characteristic of Andean cloud forest ecosystems.
