Rhododendron multinervium
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Rhododendron multinervium faces severe pressure from habitat conversion as montane forests are cleared for agricultural expansion and human settlement in its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change poses additional risks by altering the cool, humid conditions essential for its survival in high-elevation ecosystems.
Habitat
This rhododendron species inhabits montane forests and subalpine shrublands at elevations between 2,000-3,500 meters. It thrives in cool, humid environments with well-drained acidic soils, typically growing as an understory shrub in mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests.
