Causonis australasica occurs only in Australia and Papua New Guinea. The EOO and AOO are calculated as 1,095,884 km 2 and 144 km 2, respectively. The EOO suggests that this species might be Least Concern, whereas the AOO suggests it might be Endangered. However, the species does not fulfil the other parameters required for the species to be assessed as Endangered (e.g. small number of locations, continued decline and extreme fluctuations), and therefore this species is classified as Least Concern (LC).</p><p>In New Guinea, the EOO is 529,883 km 2 and the AOO is 76 km 2. Similarly to the global conservation assessment, the EOO and AOO indicate a Least Concern and Endangered classification, respectively. However, again the additional parameters necessary for the species to be classified as Endangered are not met, and therefore Causonis australasica is classified as Least Concern (LC) in New Guinea.</p><p>Additional specimens examined.

Causonis trifolia is a widespread species across Asia with no apparent threats, and therefore it can be treated as Least Concern. In New Guinea, we have been able to confirm the identity of ony one specimen because it was the only one bearing fruits, but it is extremely likely that the species is widespread in the country. As such, the species is classified as Least Concern (LC) .</p><p>Additional specimen examined. INDONESIA.
