Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): This species may be threatened by shifting agriculture. Also, there is evidence of settled agricultural practices and urban development affecting the environment, even at high elevations, in the Smit area of Meghalaya, from which one of the few specimens found was collected in 1944.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: In Myanmar, the Chin hills ecoregion, where this species is recorded, is still in good condtion (Wikramanayake 2001). It may also benefit from the Nat Ma Taung National Park within this area. In the Meghalayan hills there has been much development pressure and the percentage of the area that is protected is low (Rawat and Wikramanayake 2001). Few specimens have been collected and further research is needed into the current population status and trends, and the specific habitat status and threats, in all areas of its range. It was not found in available lists of seed bank and botanic garden species.
