The recorded occurrences of the new subspecies were mostly obtained in protected areas, e.g. National Parks. The high protection is arguably reduced by threats caused by tourism activities. In Phisanulok province, this species creates a beautiful landscape by growing on the sandstone cliff along the trekking trail, which is a famous spot among tourists. Some of its populations are outside the protected area where the new taxon has been threatened by illegal trade in wild ornamental plants, and habitat infringement. Until now, there is still no conservation plan for the new subspecies at any of these localities. Further surveys are arguably required to obtain a more accurate description of the distribution of this species in Thailand but also in Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. The currently known area of occupancy (AOO) has been estimated as 32 km2 (
