Passiflora lindeniana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Passiflora lindeniana faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in the northern Andes. Deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation has fragmented its cloud forest habitat, while climate change threatens to shift suitable temperature and moisture conditions upslope beyond the species' elevational range. The conversion of montane forests to coffee plantations has eliminated many historical populations.
Habitat
This passion vine inhabits cloud forests and humid montane woodlands between 1,500-2,800 meters elevation in the northern Andes. It typically grows as an epiphytic or climbing vine in the forest understory and edges, requiring consistent moisture and moderate temperatures characteristic of tropical montane cloud forest ecosystems.
