Assessment rationale/justification
Although this species may be affected by grazing from native species, it appears to be relatively widespread within the Hajar Mountain region of the UAE. In addition, it has also been recently recorded at Jebel Hafeet and is known to grow within the Wadi Wurayah National Park. It is therefore assessed as Least Concern.
