(Rubiaceae), based on field data on populations and distribution status of this species that is narrowly endemic to southern Western Ghats. This species was earlier presumed to be extinct, however, our data suggests that it should be assigned to the Endangered (EN) category based on the IUCN Red List criteria. |
