Critically Endangered (A1d, B2ab[iii,v]). Its only confirmed locality is a single karst limestone hill that lies outside the network of Totally Protected Areas and has been threatened by quarrying for cement and is surrounded by oil palm plantations that expose it to disturbance from agricultural activities, in particular by the practice of clearing vegetation by burning. The limestone flora occupies only 0.4% of land area but is biodiverse harbouring at least 14% of the
