Scientific Name: Eulophia stenopetala Lindl.
Synonym(s):
Graphorchis stenopetala (Lindl.) Kuntze
Assessment Information [top]
Red List Category & Criteria: Extinct ver 3.1
Year Published: 2017
Date Assessed: 2015-11-25
Assessor(s): Bhutan Endemic Flowering Plants Workshop
Reviewer(s): Hilton-Taylor, C. & Tallant, J.
Contributor(s): Dema, S., Dhendup, T., Tamang, K., Dorji, K., Dorji, T., Gyeltshen, N., Gyeltshen, N., Katel, O.N., Letro, Namgangla, Tobgay, K., Wangchuk, R., Thinley, T., Wangdi, Y., Wangmo, C., Wangmo, S. & Yangzom, R.
Facilitator/Compiler(s): Scott, J.A.
Justification:
This species was only known form one site in Punakha, Bhutan, where it was collected in the 19th Century. It has not been found since, despite repeated surveys of the site, and of other nearby sites with potentially suitable habitat. The locality is well-explored, as it is easy to access, and there are threats which could have destroyed the species and its habitat. It is therefore assessed as Extinct.
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species was endemic to Bhutan. It was recorded from near Thinleygang (Punakha), but revisits to this site with experts have failed to relocate it here. There was also a record from Saling village, above Lingmethang (Mongar), but this was a misidentification.
Countries occurrence:
Regionally extinct:
Bhutan

Additional data:
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: It was found on dry hills.
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Unknown
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: No use or trade was recorded for this species.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): It is not certain what caused the species to become Extinct, however possible causes include road widening and development - the area has become considerably more built up since its collection in the 19th century.
