État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
Extremely scarce being only known from a single place; a distribution typical of the genus. This single population of seven plants (Cheek 2003) was recorded only from a tiny area less than 0.5 m in diameter.
Species in this genus are often very hard to find because of their scarcity, diminutive stature and the fact that unless flowering the plants are invisible above ground. Flowering only lasts for a month or so and plants may not flower every year.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
The area was logged in the past (by the Forestry Department) but that had been stopped and the impact of the elephants was being reduced through the removal of animals. However, on a recent visit it was discovered that logging had recommenced and that Milicia was being targeted (Q. Luke pers. comm. 2009). Although the logging itself may not impact the species, the associated activity could.
