Rytigynia eickii
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Rytigynia eickii faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities that fragment its forest habitat across Central Africa. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while collection for traditional medicinal uses adds additional pressure on remaining populations.
Habitat
Rytigynia eickii inhabits tropical moist lowland forests and forest edges in Central Africa. The species typically occurs in secondary forest areas and forest margins where it can tolerate some degree of disturbance.
