Paracroton zeylanicus is a rare flowering plant found only in the south-western region of Sri Lanka. It was initially discovered in the Hinidumkanda Biosphere Reserve, but has since faced a significant decline in population due to deforestation and human activities. As a result, it has been classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
