Abstract

E . cynometroides is a highly threatened species that is restricted to a very small area in the vicinity of Petriky in southeastern Madagascar. Population size may be as low as 21 individuals and is subject to ongoing threats of cutting for timber, habitat conversion for agriculture and a potential future threat of a mining development in the vicinity of the remaining individuals. Although recent efforts have been made to prioritize E . cynometroides for ex situ conservation in the form of seed banking, no collections have been made to date. This species is at considerable risk of becoming extinct in the near future and is therefore listed as Critically Endangered.
