Assessment Notes

Justification

This species is known only from a single locality and collection, made in Brazil, Pernambuco, Igarassu, in the Refugio Ecologico Charles Darwin in July of 2012. The only known information regarding this species’ habitat preferences is that it grows gregariously on soil in tropical rain forest. If any wild populations of this species remain at its known locality, they are unlikely to be significantly threatened, existing under protection of the Refugio Ecologico Charles Darwin. Therefore, this species’ population is assumed stable, but further research is needed in order to confirm this. Until further research regarding this species’ current population details and its habitat preferences is carried out, this species is listed as DD.
