Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology This species climbs in thickets and low vegetation in evergreen and deciduous forest. It is often found in pine forests at about 1500m altitude (Nguyen van Thuan 1979). It grows in red or clayey soils and sand along stream sides (Van der Maesen 1998). It is also found on slopes in open grassland.

IUCN Red Listing Red List Assessment: (using 2001 IUCN system) Least Concern (LC)

Red List Criteria: Date Last Seen (only for EX, EW or Possibly EX species): Is the species Possibly Extinct?  Possibly Extinct Candidate?  Rationale for the Red List Assessment The extent of occurrence (EOO) exceeds the threshold for a threatened category. The estimated area of occurrence (AOO) and inferred population also exceed the critical thresholds. It is assessed as Least Concern (LC). However, many of the herbarium specimens for this species are from the mid-twentieth century, and surveys are recommended to establish the current geographical distribution, population and habitat status and trends. Reason(s) for Change in Red List Category from the Previous Assessment:  Genuine Change  Nongenuine Change  No Change  Genuine (recent)  New information  Taxonomy  Same category  Genuine (since first assessment)  Knowledge of Criteria  Criteria Revisio and criteria  Incorrect data used  Other  Same category but previously change in criteria Current Population Trend: Unknown Date of Assessment: 10/08/2010 Name(s) of the Assessor(s): H.Chadburn Evaluator(s): Notes:
