Passiflora jardinensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Passiflora jardinensis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching in Colombia's Andean regions, which has fragmented its cloud forest habitat. Deforestation for coffee cultivation and urban development continues to reduce available habitat, while the species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Climate change poses an additional risk by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required by this high-altitude passion vine.
Habitat
This passion vine is endemic to the cloud forests and montane regions of Colombia's Cordillera Oriental, typically found at elevations between 1,800-2,800 meters. It thrives in the humid, misty conditions of Andean cloud forests where it climbs through the forest canopy.
