État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
A. junceus has been collected in one locality only in DRC, but this seems to be due to the fact that the species tends to be rather southern African's where it occupies at least 5 countries. Its Area of Occupancy (AOO) in these countries in not fixed, but it can be estimated that the Extent of Occurrence (EOO) is high enough to justify a high population.
Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
The major threats for this species should be those affecting the quality and quantity of water especially water pollution, temperature extreme, alien invasion, and sudden drought. It’s also mentioned that most of the species of the genus Aponogeton have edible tubers, leaves and inflorescences (Flore d'Afrique Centrale). This is not explicitly clear for this species, but in any case, this is a lethal removal from the wild and if not controlled can affect the population and later on the survival of this species.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesStratégies de conservation IUCNExpert
None at the moment. But in need, research action to know better about the population numbers and range, the habitat status and the potential threats faced by this plant, then where possible, communication and education of the surrounding population about the potential freshwater plants' threats (pollution etc.).
