Premna schliebenii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Premna schliebenii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities throughout its limited range in coastal East Africa. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Coastal development and infrastructure projects pose additional threats to the remaining populations of this endemic shrub.
Habitat
Premna schliebenii inhabits coastal forests and woodland areas in East Africa, typically growing in sandy soils near the coast. The species is adapted to the specific microclimate conditions of these coastal forest ecosystems.
