The only records of this species within the UAE are from to adjacent wadis in northern Ras al Khaimah, where a few scattered individuals are reported (Feulner and Roobas 2013). The total number of mature individuals is inferred to be less than 50. The species also occurs in the Ru'us al-Jibal at lower altitudes (Feulner 2011), however confirmation of presence within the UAE is required as its possible that these occurrences are the result of cultivation, due to most or all occurring in anthropogenic habitats. Based on the occurrence in the Wadi Ghalilah area, the extent of occurrence (EOO) and areas of occupancy AOO) are likely to be highly restricted, however these metrics have not been estimated as detailed locality records are not available. Based on the number of mature individuals being inferred to be less than 50, the species is assessed as Critically Endangered (CR D) and it is likely that the species may also qualify for a threatened category under criterion B based on the probably restricted EOO and AOO. Further research and survey work is needed for this species to confirmation its distribution, origin, and population status. No rescue effect from populations in Oman is considered likely because the nearest known populations are in Oman close to Al Ain.

This species is widespread at lower altitudes in the UAE. Although data are lacking on the population size and trend, the species is assessed as Least Concern as it is thought unlikely that it will approach the thresholds for a threatened category.

Although this species is restricted to the Hajar Mountains, it appears to be fairly widespread within this environment. In addition, it is known to occur in at least one protected area. It is therefore assessed as Least Concern.

This species is widespread in the north-east of the UAE and qualifies as Least Concern.

The species is widespread in the mountains and hills of the eastern UAE and is therefore assessed as Least Concern.

This species is widespread in the UAE, primarily along coastal areas. Whilst subpopulations will have undergone a significant decline as a result of coastal development, it is thought that the species still qualifies as Least Concern.

The species is widespread in the mountains of the UAE, and is also found on offshore islands and in some coastal areas. Whilst it is likely to have been impacted by grazing and coastal development, it is still widespread and assessed as Least Concern.

This species is widespread in the Hajar Mountains in the eastern UAE, where it generally occurs at higher altitudes. The identity of the species present in the UAE requires confirmation, and the draft Red Data Book for Plants (MEW 2010) notes that the photograph presented for Trichodesma enetotrichum in Jongbloed et al. (2003) actually shows T. africanum. The species is assessed as Data Deficient.

Confirmation of the detailed distribution and taxonomic identity of this species within the UAE is needed to accurately assess this species. Currently, it is only known from Jebel Fayyah. Therefore, it is assessed as Data Deficient.

Although having been described from a single site in the UAE, it now appears to be ambiguous as to how common this species is in the country. Similar plants are present on limestone hills to the north but have now been determined to be different species. Confirmation of the identity and distribution of this, and related species, is required, and this species is therefore assessed as Data Deficient.
