Growth From Definition Shrub - size Perennial shrub (any size), also termed a Phanerophyte if >1m or a Chamaephyte if <1m Threats This species suffers from the general threats of habitat loss as a result of expanding human populations, in particular agriculture and settlement. Past Present Future 1 Habitat Loss/Degradation (human induced) 1.1 Agriculture 1.1.1 Crops 1.1.1.1 Shifting Agriculture 1.1.1.2 Small-holder farming 1.4 Infrastructure development Conservation Measures There are no specific conservation measures in place for this species. It may benefit from existing protected areas, for example it is recorded from the Op Luang National Park in Thailand. However, much of its range falls outside such areas. Further research is needed to establish its current habitat status and threats and also current population numbers and range. It was not found in available lists of seed bank and botanic garden species.

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 Is the species Possibly Extinct? Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment The extent of occurrence (EOO) for this species exceeds the critical threshold. The estimated area of occupancy (AOO) and inferred population also exceed the thresholds. It is assessed as Least Concern (LC). However, the forest habitat of this species faces ongoing threats, and research is needed to establish the current population and habitat status. Reason(s) for Change in Red List Category from the Previous Assessment: Genuine Change Nongenuine Change No Change Genuine (recent) New information Taxonom Same category Genuine (since first assessment) Knowledge of Criteria Criteria and criteria Incorrect data used Other Same category but previously change in criteria Current Population Trend: Unknown Date of Assessment: 25/08/2010 Name(s) of the H.Chadburn Evaluator(s): Notes: % population decline in the past: Time period over which the past decline has been measured for applying Criterion A or C1 (in years or generations): % population decline in the future: Time period over which the future decline has been measured for applying Criterion A or C1 (in years or generations): Number of Locations: Severely Number of Mature Individuals:
