Anagallis oligantha
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Anagallis oligantha faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and intensive farming practices across its Mediterranean range. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to fragment its remaining coastal and lowland habitats. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency, which directly impacts this moisture-dependent annual herb.
Habitat
This annual herb inhabits Mediterranean coastal plains, temporary wetlands, and seasonally moist grasslands, typically growing in sandy or clay soils. It thrives in areas with winter rainfall and spring moisture, often found in agricultural margins and disturbed ground near the coast.
