There has, however, been a 17% tree cover loss within its range during the period from 2000 to 2016. Based on this, there is a projected continuing decline in the extent and quality of habitat and a suspected population decline. The population decline would most likely be greater if calculated over three generation lengths (60-150 years) rather than a 16 year period and may be close to the threshold for Vulnerable. The plant is currently classified as 'Near Threatened' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species(2018)[ 338 Title IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Publication Author Website http://www.iucnredlist.org/ Publisher Year 0 ISBN Description A list of plants under threat and facing possible extinction, usually with brief details of the threats and information on habitat. ].
