The extent of occurrence (EOO) for this species greatly exceeds the thresholds for a threatened listing. The estimated area of occupancy (AOO) and inferred population also exceed the thresholds. It is assessed as Least Concern (LC).

This species has a wide geographic range from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and China (Yunnan), through much of South East Asia.

This species has a wide geographic range and is found in a variety of habitats. It tolerates some disturbance, as it is reported from secondary forest. The population is inferred to be large and stable.

This large climber is found in mixed deciduous and dry evergreen forests on slopes and along riverbanks, and also in forest clearings, secondary forest and thickets. It is found on sandy, laterite and clay soils and on limestone. This very large climber has the potential to damage trees.

This is a widespread species with no major threats identified at present.

In northern Thailand the leaves and stems of this species are boiled, with Dicranopteris, and used as a liquid to apply to broken bones as an analgesic (Anderson 1986). In Kerala a leaf paste is used to treat conjunctivitis (Vijayan et al. 2007). Gum extracted from the wood, fibre from the bark and oil from the seeds is reputed to have economic use in Bangladesh (Rezia Khatun 2009)

No specific conservation measures are in place for this widespread species. It may benefit from existing protected areas, for example, it is listed as common in the Royal Chitwan national park in Nepal (Green 1993). It was not found in available lists of seed banks. It was recorded as a species of Peradeniya Royal botanic gardens in Sri lanka in 1970.
