Psychotria cyathicalyx
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Psychotria cyathicalyx faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in tropical montane forests. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have reduced the quality and connectivity of its forest habitat, while climate change poses additional risks to the specific elevation zones where this species thrives. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical montane forests, typically occurring in the understory of cloud forests and humid mountain slopes at moderate to high elevations. It requires well-preserved forest conditions with consistent moisture levels and canopy cover.
