Scaphochlamys endauensis

Distribution and habitat: — Endemic in Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. Lowland dipterocarp forest, 25 – 370 m elevation, forest floor, level and undulating terrain, in shaded areas. Conservation status: — Near Threatened, NT. The species meets the area requirements under criterion B for Endangered (extent of occurence = 262 km 2 and area of occupancy = 16 km 2). However, the plants are commonly found and well protected in Endau Rompin State Park, a Totally Protected Area. Among all the known locations, only the populations in the Lenggor Forest Reserve are threatened by logging but this is unlikely to cause the species to extinct or becoming critically endangered in the future. Therefore, the listing is justified under the NT category (IUCN, 2012). Additional specimens examined (paratypes): — PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. Johor: Mersing, Gunung Janing, 20 October 1892, H. W.
