subsequently undertook field surveys, during 1 October– 20 December 2021, in various parts of Madhya Pradesh to locate the species. We found F. cupulata in 15 locations in Panchmarhi Biosphere Reserve and the Tamia region of Hoshangabad and Chhindwara districts, respectively, but despite several surveys we could not locate the species in the Orchha forest division. We recorded a total of 585 mature individuals in a
total surveyed area of 1,500 km2,and estimatedareaofoc- cupancy and extent of occurrence to be 64 km2 and 409 km2, respectively. Based on these findings, we recommend that F. cupulata should be categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List based on criteria B1b(iii)c(iv)+2bc (iii); C2b. The species’ restricted distribution range and small population size, and existing threats, warrant imme- diate conservation action. As the species was not under ex situ conservation in any botanical garden, we collected planting material (stem cuttings and saplings) of the spe- cies from Panchmarhi and introduced it to the botanical garden of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research– National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow. Plantlets raised in the botanical garden will provide propagation and research material for future studies of this species.

Status of the Endangered Canariumkipellaand its lack of regeneration in ex situ cultivation
Canarium kipella (Burseraceae) is a tree endemic to West Java, Indonesia. According to herbarium specimens col- lected in 1899 and 1904, the tree occurs only in Pelabuhan Ratu and Mount Salak, respectively. Currently, it is known only from two mature individuals planted at the Bogor Botanic Gardens 106 and 62 years ago. The two collections came from seedlings collected from Mount Salak in 1916 and 1960. As a result of threats from habitat conversion into human settlements and agricultural fields, the species is categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. In 2018, I. Robiansyah and S.U. Rakhmawati surveyed
Mount Salak but despite intensive exploration they were unable to locate the species. During 23–26 March 2022 we surveyed the second known location of the species, in Pelabuhan Ratu. We searched for the tree using line
