(using 2001 IUCN system)
Least Concern (LC)
Red List Criteria:
Date Last Seen (only for EX, EW or Possibly EX species):
Is the species Possibly Extinct? Possibly Extinct Candidate?
Rationale for the Red List Assessment
F. involucrata is listed here as Least Corncern in view of its wide distribution across southern Asia, from India extending south
into Australia. Moreover it is known to occur across several protected areas in its range and there are no major threats known to
the species. It is recommended that the seeds of this species are banked as an ex situ conservation measure.
