Scientific Name:	Swartzia macrophylla
Species Authority:	Willd. ex Vogel

Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria:

Data Deficient ver 3.1

Year Assessed:

2006

Assessor/s:

Hilton-Taylor, C.

Reviewer/s:

Hilton-Taylor, C. & Pollock, C.M. (Red List Programme Office)

Justification:
This species was previously incorrectly listed as Extinct. A number of reports indicate that the species is still extant in Colombia. From the herbarium records it appears that it is very localised but may be common given the number of records. Until such time as a proper conservation assessment can be made the species is provisionally listed as Data Deficient.

History:

1997

–

Indeterminate (Walter and Gillett 1998)

Geographic Range [top]

Range Description:	The species was originally recorded from an unspecified locality, probably in Antioquia, San Luis. According to the Missouri Botanical Garden database TROPICOS, this species has been collected (in flower and fruit) from Antioquia many times (14 collections) during the 1980s and 1990s, with the most recent collection being in 2001. It was also collected at Chocó in the late 1980s. The collections were mostly made at altitudes between 325 and 1,100 m. The collections from Chocó are probably at a lower elevation.
