Justification: Was listed in the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants as Rare (Walter and Gillett 1998). The species was not reassessed for the Global List of Threatened Trees (Oldfield et al. 1998), and hence was not included in the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, in the Conifer Action Plan (Farjon and Page 1999) this species was included in a separate list as being of conservation concern. It was subsequently decided to include these on the IUCN Red List as Data Deficient until such time as they can be re-evaluated. |
