Passiflora dawei

Unknown

Overview

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

Passiflora dawei faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as Myanmar's forests are cleared for agriculture and development. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while collection pressure for horticultural trade poses an additional risk to wild populations. Climate change may further stress remaining populations by altering the specific environmental conditions this endemic passion vine requires.
