Pycnora praestabilis

Unknown

Overview

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

Pycnora praestabilis faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat fragmentation from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. Climate change is altering the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires, while invasive plant species are outcompeting native vegetation essential for its survival. Collection pressure for the horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations in accessible areas.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits specialized rocky outcrops and cliff faces in montane regions, typically occurring at elevations between 800-1,500 meters. It requires specific moisture conditions and soil chemistry found in limestone-derived substrates with partial shade from surrounding vegetation.
