Passiflora uribei
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Passiflora uribei faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as Colombia's montane forests are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' restricted range in the Colombian Andes makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with fragmentation isolating remaining populations and reducing genetic diversity. Climate change poses an additional threat as shifting temperature and precipitation patterns alter the specific microclimatic conditions this endemic passionflower requires.
Habitat
This endemic Colombian passionflower inhabits montane cloud forests and humid forest edges in the Andean region, typically occurring at elevations between 1,500-2,500 meters. The species requires the specific microclimatic conditions found in these moist, cool environments with consistent cloud cover and high humidity.
