Drimys roraimensis is a broadleaf evergreen tree of family Winteraceae. it is native to the tepuis, flat-topped mountains in southern Venezuela and western Guyana.[1]
Range and habitat
[edit]Drimys roraimensis is endemic to montane cloud forests of the tepuis, where it is found on mountain slopes, along streams, and in swamps between 1,800 and 2,500 meters elevation.[1]
The species' estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is estimated as 357,372 km2. The estimated area of occupancy is 140 km2, which is likely an under-estimate because of the low number of collections.[1]
