Bidens evapelliana

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Bidens evapelliana faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native habitat. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the specific moisture conditions this species requires.
