Psychotria dubia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Psychotria dubia faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in tropical montane forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly coffee cultivation and cattle ranching, has reduced suitable habitat patches and isolated remaining populations. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures force this montane species to seek higher elevations with increasingly limited suitable habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests at elevations typically between 1,000-2,500 meters. It grows in the understory of primary and secondary forests, often along forest edges and in areas with consistent moisture and filtered sunlight.
