Stigmaphyllon nudiflorum

Unknown

Overview

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

Stigmaphyllon nudiflorum faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its restricted range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native habitat. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the specific microhabitat conditions this vine requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This climbing vine inhabits tropical dry forests and woodland edges, typically growing in well-drained soils at low to moderate elevations. It favors areas with partial shade and seasonal moisture patterns characteristic of neotropical dry forest ecosystems.
