| Justification: Drimiopsis reilleyana is known from only two localities, and based on its very restricted area of occupancy and extent of occurrence, has been assessed as Vulnerable under Criterion D2. One of the localities falls within a conservation area although this is managed for large mammals, and the other is unprotected. At the time of assessment, there was no available information on threats to these subpopulations. Date last seen: 2000 | |
