Assessment rationale/justification
This species is restricted to the Ru'us al-Jibal Mountains and parts of the Hajar Mountains in the UAE at up to 1,200 m elevation, with an extent of occurrence (EOO) of less than 1,000 km<sup>2</sup>. Although the EOO, and probably the AOO is restricted, and the impact of grazing requires further research, the species is assumed to occur in many more than ten locations and is therefore assessed as Least Concern.
