The National Red List Project

Please note, this National Red List website contains a subset of data whilst we transition to national focal point driven data uploads. We thank you for your patience with this and welcome national contributors to get in touch to update their national dataset. Terms of Use including citation guidance are found here.

The previous dataset is available via: https://archive.nationalredlist.org/. This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

Assessment rationale/justification
This species is rare but widespread in the Hajar Mountains and the Ru'us al-Jibal. It is considered to be rare or uncommon, but it is a short-lived annual that is easily overlooked (MEW 2010). It is considered Least Concern because, although known from a relatively small number of available records, it is suspected to have a wider distribution than shown.
