Assessment rationale/justification
This species is relatively widespread throughout the Hajar Mountains in the UAE, occurring in both the Wadi Wurayah National Park and Ru'us al-Jibal, in addition to Jebel Hafeet. Throughout its range it is considered to be common and, due to its toxicity, is dominant at particularly overgrazed sites. This property provides the plant with protection from grazing animals. It can occur in a range of habitats and is known to occur in at least one protected area within its range. It is therefore assessed as Least Concern.
