Taxonomic notes
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
Endemical species registered from Colombian páramo and oak forest. In Colombia this systems are vulnerable, so the species can be endanger.
Geographic range
In Colombia, this endemic species have been collected in Cundinamarca and Meta departments of Colombia. Only have been found in mountain forests with Quercus humboldtii (oak) and Paramo complex. Known from 4 collections, two from oak forests in Santa Maria, Boyacá, and the other two from Ubala Cundinamarca. EOO= 1,557.227 km2 (based on GeoCAT), AOO= 20 km2 (based on GeoCAT).
Population and Trends
This species is known from 4 functional individuos, two from each site. Although this species grows in oak phorophyte and páramos, this type of forests have been well study in some areas of the country, this species is not frequently founded. We asume that the population will decrease due to transformation of the natural ecosystems.
Population Trend: Decreasing
