Synonyms

None noted.

Vernacular names

None known.

Taxonomic position

Meliolaceae, Meliolales, Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota, Fungi.

Red List assessment

Data Deficient [IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria: version 3.1. Level: global].

Rationale

This evaluation is based on 11 records [breakdown: Cybernome (1 record); IndexFungorum (1 record); other catalogues (1 record)]. There are 3 records with dates, the earliest 1956 (the species was first described in 1957), the most recent 1961. Of dated records, 67% are post 1960. This species is recorded from 2 countries distributed through 2 continents and regions. Although this species is widely distributed, no associated organisms are recorded. An appreciable proportion of dated records were made after 1960, but there are too few records to make any other evaluation.

Reasons for change from previous assessment

None: not previously assessed.

Date of assessment

29 November 2025.

With no direct information, observation frequency over time, if available, can be considered as a proxy to infer current population trend; for species associated with trees, loss of woodland cover over time is another possible proxy. Observation frequency over time. The species was first described in 1957. There are 3 datable records of this species. The earliest is 1956 and the most recent is 1961. The profile of dated records is: pre-1961 (1); 1961-2000 (2); post-2000 (0). Observations have increased and then declined again. Current trend (inferred). Recent decline. The small number of datable records makes this inference very uncertain. Conservation actions (in situ). None known. Conservation actions (ex situ). Culture collections.
