Trilepisium gymnandrum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Trilepisium gymnandrum faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asia. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets mature forest stands where this tree species typically occurs. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering precipitation patterns essential for the species' reproductive cycles.
Habitat
Trilepisium gymnandrum inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests, typically occurring in lowland and hill forest ecosystems up to 800 meters elevation. The species shows preference for well-drained soils in mature forest stands with closed canopy cover.
