Solanum regularifolium

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Solanum regularifolium faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. The species' specialized pollination requirements make it particularly vulnerable to ecosystem disruption, while collection for traditional medicinal uses adds additional pressure on wild populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments and forest edges in southeastern Brazil, typically growing in disturbed secondary forests and woodland margins. It prefers well-drained soils in partially shaded environments at elevations between 200-800 meters.
