Passiflora trianae

Unknown

Overview

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

Passiflora trianae faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its Colombian Andean range. Deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation has fragmented the cloud forest habitats essential for this endemic passion vine. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required in its montane ecosystem.
