Psychotria siphonophora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Psychotria siphonophora faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in tropical montane forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized cloud forest ecosystems this species requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical montane cloud forests and humid mountain slopes, typically occurring at elevations between 1,000-2,500 meters. It requires the consistent moisture and stable temperatures characteristic of these specialized high-altitude forest ecosystems.
