DISTRIBUTION. — Endemic to Peninsular Malaysia: Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Johor.

ECOLOGY. — Growing in hill forests between 60-1000 m altitude. Flowering from February to April; fruiting unknown.

CONSERVATION ASSESSMENT. — Endangered (EN B1ab(i,iii), B2ab(ii,iii)). This species is known only from few collections from three locations in central Peninsular Malaysia, where it is reported to be locally abundant. An analysis of the Extent of Occurrence (EOO) gives an IUCN Conservation Assessment of Vulnerable, but the Area of Occupancy (AOO) suggests an assessment of Endangered. Given the small area of occupancy and the intensive logging and landscape modification that has occurred in the region during the last 50 years, this species must be considered endangered.
