Passiflora pennellii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Passiflora pennellii faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as its native cloud forest and montane ecosystems are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' restricted range in the Andean foothills makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction. Climate change poses an additional threat as shifting temperature and precipitation patterns alter the delicate conditions required for this high-altitude passion vine to survive.
Habitat
This passion vine inhabits cloud forests and humid montane slopes in the Andean region, typically growing as a climbing vine in the understory and forest edges. It requires the consistent moisture and moderate temperatures characteristic of these high-altitude tropical ecosystems.
