Increased fire frequencies are also a threat to the species.
As a result of the restricted distribution; the fragmented nature of the known subpopulations and the potential threats of Phytophthora cinnamomi and inappropriate fire regimes; the geographic distribution of this species is precarious for its survival.
The main threats to the subpopulations of B. pseudoplumosa are the impact of Phytophthora cinnamomi and an inappropriate fire regime.
