Odontonema brevipes

Odontonema brevipes is a species of plant in the family Acanthaceae which is endemic to Trinidad and Tobago. The species is only known from four localities in the Main Ridge of Tobago.[2] It was described by German botanist Ignatz Urban in his Symbolae Antillanae, based on collections made by Danish botanist Henrik von Eggers and English-born Trinidadian botanist Walter Elias Broadway.[3]

Conservation status

Although Odontonema brevipes is not listed in the IUCN Red List, the authors of a 2008 assessment of the endemic plant species of Trinidad and Tobago considered it vulnerable due to the fact that it is known from a restricted area or small number of localities.[2]

gollark: I think 31 being 2^5 - 1 is slightly relevant maybe possibly.
gollark: You want to make it MORE good, not LESS good.
gollark: That sounds good* and useful**.
gollark: Ah, the whole thing is boring and therefore trivial?
gollark: So it should be using 2n but whatever.
