Viburnum hebanthum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Viburnum hebanthum faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its native range. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across increasingly isolated forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and moisture conditions this montane species requires for survival.
Habitat
Viburnum hebanthum inhabits montane forests and woodland edges at moderate to high elevations, typically growing in well-drained soils with partial shade. The species is adapted to cool, humid conditions characteristic of temperate mountain ecosystems.
