Assessment rationale/justification
Within the United Arab Emirates it has only been found in anthropogenic habitats on two off-shore islands and at Al Qua'a, south of Al Ain. This species is listed as Data Deficient due to insufficient data. Its distribution is currently only associated with ornamental gardens and cultivated land, which suggests the possibility that it was introduced, and its origin in the UAE remains uncertain.
