THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES™ Taxonomy Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Plantae Tracheophyta Magnoliopsida Lamiales Labiatae Taxon Name: Pogostemon quadrifolius (Benth.) F.Muell. Synonym(s): • Anuragia quadrifolia • Chotekia sericea • Dysophylla quadrifolia • Dysophylla rupestris • Dysophylla stellata subspecies roxburgiana H.Keng • Dysophylla velutina • Eusteralis malabarica • Eusteralis quadrifolia • Eusteralis stellata subspecies roxburghiana (H.Keng) Bennet & Raizada • Mentha quadrifolia • Mentha stellata • Pogostemon stellatus subspecies roxburgianus (H.Keng) H.Keng Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Data Deficient ver 3.1 Year Published: 2011 Date Assessed: July 12, 2011 Justification: The species is recorded from separate locations in northern India (Meghalaya, Assam, and Orissa), southern India (Kerela), from a single recent record in eastern Bangladesh, and from Myanmar. Little is known of the species current full distribution and population trends, and even within that area appears to be relatively little known. Available information is inadequate to provide an informed assessment of its conservation status and so it is classed as Data Deficient. Geographic Range Range Description: The species is recorded from northern India (Khasia Hills and Garo Hills (Meghalaya, Assam, and Orissa (Sambalpur)), Bangladesh (Chittagong) (Bhatti and Ingrouille 2007) from Myanmar, and also from southern India (Kerala (Malabar, Godavari District). In eastern Bangladesh it grows on sandy soils (Khanam et al. 2003, Bhatti and Ingrouille 2007). Country Occurrence: Native: Bangladesh; India (Assam, Kerala, Meghalaya, Orissa); Myanmar (Myanmar (mainland)) © The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Pogostemon quadrifolius – published in 2011. 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2011-2.RLTS.T199696A9119143.en Population No information available. Current Population Trend: Unknown Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) The species has been recorded from moist soil along river banks, usually on seasonally flooded ground. Systems: Terrestrial, Freshwater Use and Trade No information available on use of the species. Threats No information is available on threats to the species or its habitats. Conservation Actions Research is needed to confirm the species current distribution, population trends, and presence and impact of threats. Credits Assessor(s): Lansdown, R.V.
