Threats to Leonohebe cupressoides

  • Habitat depletion
    • This appears to be the key factor in the decline of Leonohebe cupressoides, and agriculture and human-induced fire are the main causes of its depletion.
  • Competition
    • Leonohebe cupressoides does not compete well with introduced plants for nutrients and this limits seed germination.
  • Predation
    • Grazing stock and introduced pests such as rabbits and hares eat juvenile plants.
