Assessment rationale/justification
Within the UAE, this species is only known from two old records; a plantation at Lulayah near Khor Fakkan (Western 1987) on the east coast, and from Al Ain near Jebel Hafeet (Jongbloed et al. 2003). No further information is available, other than that it was found in a plantation and in the disturbed ground. Whilst the species is reported to be native to the UAE, this perhaps requires confirmation given the few records and its medicinal applications. Continued presence at both sites requires verification, given the age of the records and the extensive commercial and urban development that has occurred at both localities in recent years. It is therefore considered Data Deficient for the UAE.
