Justification
The only known specimen of this species is its holotype, collected from Rio de Janeiro in July of 1843. Further information regarding any other subpopulations or specimens of this species is lacking. Similarly, although this species was initially described as growing amongst vegetation litter, gregarious or caespitose on the ground, little is known about its current habitat preferences or potential threats. If this species does exist at its only known locality, it is potentially threatened by urbanization and tourism. Until further research is carried out regarding the present distribution, habitat preferences, and potential threats of this species, though, it is difficult to assess its current population trends, and so it is listed as Data Deficient.Geographic range
The holotype of this species is known from Rio de Janeiro, located in July 1843 (Pegler 1990).Population and Trends
The current status of any existing wild population of this species is unknown at this time, and so its current trend remain uncertain. Without further research into its localities, habitat preferences, and possible threats, it is likely that this information will remain unknown.
Population Trend: unknown
