Justification of Red List category
The species occurs in scattered localities in a small area in the cerrado of central and south-east Brazil. Although it may now largely be restricted to protected areas, these are not considered safe owing to frequent damaging fires and the increasing threat of conversion for Eucalyptus plantations and soya crops. Therefore the species is listed as Endangered.
