Appendix 5
ANGIOSPERM TREES IN NEED OF CONSERVATION

(Listed in IUCN Red Data Book 5)

Categories:

0.Presumed extinct 
1.EndangeredActively threatened with extinction. Survival unlikely without protective measures.
2.RareNot under immediate threat of extinction but occurring in such small numbers or in such localised or specialised habitats that it could quickly disappear. Needs watching.
3.DepletedAlthough sufficiently abundant for survival the species has been heavily depleted and is in decline as a result of natural causes or human activity.
4.IndeterminateApparently endangered but insufficient data currently available for a reliable assessment.

Symbols:

(a)Full species.
(b)Subspecies or variety.
EExotic. Indigenous population in category 1, 2 or 3 but survival ensured by widespread cultivation.
MProtected in a national park or other reserve.
PLegally protected.

Star Listing:

***Giving cause for very grave anxiety

The first set of IUCN data sheets for Angiosperms, issued in January 1970, contained 7 large trees and 17 small trees. They were listed in appendix 7 of the Report of the second session of the Panel.
