Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia

All known populations are from areas in which the forest has largely been cleared. They are under severe threat from factors which affect all plants occurring in flowing water bodies in the region, notably forest clearance, urbanisation, agricultural intensification and the secondary effects of these factors, particularly increased turbidity, pollution and casual habitat degradation. Some populations appear to have been lost in recent years.

There are no conservation actions in place specifically for this species and it is not known to occur in any protected areas. There is a need for surveys to establish the current conservation condition of all populations.
