Solenandra triflora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Solenandra triflora faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in Madagascar's remaining forest fragments. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while collection pressure for horticultural trade poses an additional threat to wild populations. Climate change may further stress this endemic species by altering the moisture regimes essential for its survival.
Habitat
This endemic Malagasy species inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges, typically growing in shaded understory conditions with consistent moisture. It occurs in fragmented forest patches across Madagascar's eastern highlands, where it depends on stable microclimatic conditions.
