Psidium rotundidiscum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Psidium rotundidiscum faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native forest ecosystems. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the specific moisture conditions this endemic guava requires.
Habitat
This endemic guava species inhabits tropical moist forests and forest edges in the Caribbean region. It typically grows in areas with consistent moisture and partial shade, often found in secondary forest regeneration zones.
