Description
Summary:JUSTIFICATION: Dinotrema azoricum is an endemic species of the Azores, Portugal. It is known only from the holotype, collected on São Miguel in 1938, in a (currently) highly disturbed area. From the historical data, it potentially has a very small Extent of Occurrence (16 km²) and Area of Occupancy (16 km²). This species has possibly declined in the past as a result of human activity, but the present situation of this species needs to be further assessed and further research is needed into its population, distribution, threats, ecology and life history. Conservation of native vegetation could potentially aid this species' conservation. Based upon the unknown distribution, threats and ecology, this species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).
