Habitat and Ecology

As for the species and typical variety

Conservation Status

Global status

Endangered B1ab(v)

This variety is known from a very small number of herbarium collections, including the types of two separately described taxa. The extent of occurrence is between 3,400 and 5,000 km² while there are fewer than five locations known. Logging has certainly reduced this variety in the past, but is difficult to quantify. Unless cutting trees has completely come to a halt, it is inferred that this rare variety continues to suffer loss of mature individuals.

Information for taxon will be completed shortly

Conservation Actions

A ban on logging has been imposed by the Chinese Gorvernment since 1998 although some illegal logging may still continue.
