This newly described species may be facing the threat of extinction in the wild due to the low number of plants representing the entire known populations and its limited distribution. Between 2018 and 2021, it is shown that Katukithula population has a significant decline, with a loss of approximately 80% of the population. Furthermore, due to its presence along the edge of a path, there is a threat to this population from road clearing and weeding. Therefore, this new species is assigned to the category ‘Critically Endangered’ (CR) in accordance with the International Union for Conservation of Nature guidelines (
