Distribution and habitat: Venezuela, endemic. It occurs in Tropical Dry Forests.

Conservation Status: Data Deficient (DD). Zornia filifoliola is known from only four collections. Without more detailed information about the distribution of this species, it is difficult to assess its true conservation status (EOO= 139,402.180 km ²; AOO= 16.000 km ²).

Notes: Zornia filifoliola can be identified by its filiform leaflets and its punctate, glabrous bracteoles that are linear-lanceolate and have 3–4 veins.
