The presence and status of Strobilanthes recurva C.B.Clarke (Acanthaceae) in Manipur, northeastern India is re-assessed with a brief description and illustration. Photographs and their conservation status are also provided. The values of Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and Area of Occupancy (AOO) calculated as 16,313.797 km2 (VU), and 20.000 km2 (EN) respectively predicted S. recurva as Vulnerable and Endangered. Therefore, we proposed to treat this threatened species, S. recurva as Endangered (EN) until further information becomes available.
