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 This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

(see Assessment details)

Assessment rationale/justification
Fewer than ten individuals are known from a single location in the UAE. Therefore, Cordia quercifolia is assessed as Critically Endangered (CR D). There is no reason to doubt the native origin of the species in the UAE, despite the species being known from abandoned agricultural areas, as the species is not known to be associated with agricultural areas elsewhere.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
Within the UAE, this species is known from one hillside on the northern slopes of Jebel Naqab within the Ru'us al-Jibal (Feulner 2011). It has been recorded from a single locality within this area (MEW 2010). All known individuals have been found in localities inaccessible to livestock. Globally, this species is native to dry and tropical Africa, in addition to the Arabian Peninsula, India and Sri Lanka (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019).

Habitat
Habitat details as listed in assessment
It is a straggling tree with fruit, and perhaps leaves, that are edible to livestock. This species is generally found growing on rocky ledges in the mountains.
Threats and conservation measures listed
Threats listed in assessment
It is likely that Cordia quercifolia is grazed by animals; the currently known individuals occur in localities inaccessible to livestock, but this restricted distribution may be the result of past grazing, and ongoing grazing may prevent colonisation.
History
The species was not recorded in the UAE in 1996 but it is possible that the species was present either in the seedbank or as underground rhizomes, or simply not found, or identified, in surveys. We consider that it is likely to have been present but in similarly small numbers, and would have qualified as CR in 1996.
