Podandrogyne brevipedunculata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Podandrogyne brevipedunculata faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in tropical dry forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while its specialized pollination requirements may be disrupted by declining insect populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the seasonal flowering cycles critical to this plant's reproductive success.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical dry forests and woodland margins, typically growing in well-drained soils with seasonal moisture availability. It occurs in areas with distinct wet and dry seasons, often found along forest edges and in secondary growth habitats.
