Justification:
A widespread species. Classified as Near Threatened due to overall population size of ca. 5,000 plants, although this is likely to be an underestimate given the wide distribution range. The current population size means that it could qualify as Vulnerable (under criterion C1) if decline increased by 10%.

1997	–	Rare (Walter and Gillett 1998)
