Threats There are no major threats known to this species. However, the natural habitats of the eastern region of Australia where this species occurs, have been cleared for industrial and urban development.

Most notably in New South Wales it is known to occur in Crowdy Bay, Deua and Yuraygir National Parks. This species is not listed as Threatened in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The seeds for this species have been collected as part of the Millennium Seed Bank project. Seeds are located at: Wakehurst Place, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (UK) and Brisbane Botanic Garden, Queensland (Australia).

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 P. euchila is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution through forests of eastern Australia, also for the fact that it is known to occur in protected areas across its range and that its seeds have been banked as an ex situ conservation measure. There are no known major threats to the species, however, the forests where it occurs were cleared for urban and industrial development, causing fragmentation of the habitat. 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: Stable Date of Assessment: 20/07/2010 Name(s) of the Assessor(s): Malcolm, P.
