Passiflora haughtii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Passiflora haughtii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching throughout its Colombian Andean range. Deforestation for coffee cultivation and pasture development has fragmented the cloud forest habitats essential for this endemic passion vine. Climate change poses an additional threat as rising temperatures push suitable habitat zones to higher elevations, reducing available growing space in the already restricted montane environment.
Habitat
This endemic passion vine inhabits cloud forests and humid montane forests in the Colombian Andes, typically growing at elevations between 1,800 and 2,800 meters. It thrives in the cool, moist conditions of these high-altitude ecosystems where persistent fog and cloud cover create ideal growing conditions.
