Mizoram: Rulchawm, ca. 1100 m, 27 January 2022, M. Sawmliana s.n., (ARUN). Assam: 1829, s.coll., s.n., (K); Manipur: 1881–1882, G. Watt 7360, (CAL). MYANMAR. Katha State: Kadu Hill, 3000 ft, 23 February 1910, J.H. Lace 5121 (E); “Upper Burmah, Valley of the Taping”, 2000 ft, February 1914, G. Forrest 12170 (E); Sumprabum Sub-Division, “Two miles north west of Kanang”, 6500 ft, March 1962, J. Keenan, U Tun Aung &amp; U Tha Hla 3900 (E).</p> <p>Threat assessment as per IUCN guidelines (IUCN, 2012a, 2012b, 2019):— The species was known from five collections from Assam and Manipur without any precise locality. During our present study, we have collected the species from four localities in and around Rulchawm, Mizoram. Based on the present and past collections the area of occupancy (AOO) is calculated to 500 km 2 with very limited distribution at less than 5 locations where the habitats are continuously shrinking due to developmental works. Therefore, the taxon is assessed here as endangered [EN B2ab(iii)] in India.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DB0A45FFEC8A0FFF4C1E8FFE9AF784	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
