Devillea flagelliformis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Devillea flagelliformis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its specialized habitat. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the delicate moisture conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits specialized microhabitats within coastal scrubland and rocky outcrops, typically requiring specific moisture and soil conditions. It is endemic to a very limited geographic area with highly fragmented populations.
