Chrysophyllum aulacocarpum is a tree in the family Sapotaceae, native to Venezuela.
Distribution and habitat
Chrysophyllum aulacocarpum is endemic to Venezuela, where it is considered to be confined to the area of Los Teques in Miranda state. Its last-known habitat was in deciduous or cloud forests at an altitude of around 1,200 metres (4,000 ft).[1]
Conservation
Chrysophyllum aulacocarpum has been assessed as Critically Endangered (possibly extinct) on the IUCN Red List. The species is only known from its initial identification in 1874. Given that its habitat of that time is now in the urban area of Los Teques, it is at best threatened by urban development.[1]
