Plumeria venosa

Unknown

Overview

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

Plumeria venosa faces significant pressure from habitat destruction as coastal and lowland forests in its native range are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while collection for ornamental use has reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting its specialized habitat requirements.

Threat summary

Habitat

Plumeria venosa inhabits tropical dry forests and coastal woodlands, typically growing in well-drained soils at low to moderate elevations. The species shows preference for areas with seasonal rainfall patterns and is often found along forest edges and in secondary growth areas.
