Justification:
This species has a large range (EOO calculated from mapped herbarium specimens = 761,575 km2). The human footprint factor is fairly high (45) especially near the coast, where habitat and individual trees are likely to have disappeared. It is suspected that rates of population decline over three generations may approach the threshold for inclusion in a threatened category under Criterion A. We feel it is warranted to flag this species as NT.
History:
2002 – Data Deficient

Population Trend: Decreasing

Habitat and Ecology [top]

Habitat and Ecology: The exact habitat of this species is poorly indicated on herbarium labels, mostly if mentioned at all it is said to occur in ‘campo rupestre’, we assume in the vicinity of streams and/or in rocky areas. Elevation based on GIS data is between 108 and 1,704 m (one herbarium specimen label recorded 1,800 m).
Systems: Terrestrial

Threats [top]

Major Threat(s): Habitat degradation and loss in the more densely populated coastal regions.

Conservation Actions [top]

Conservation Actions: The species is not known to occur in any protected area.
