habitat loss. It is a federally listed endangered species
of the United States.

This tree is only known from a single specimen and a few seedlings in the cloud forests on Cerro de Punta and Monte Jayuya, both at Toro Negro State Forest in Puerto Rico.[1][2] Other specimens were probably destroyed when a communications tower was installed on Cerro de Punta.[1]
