Erigeron bellidiastroides

Unknown

Overview

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

Erigeron bellidiastroides faces severe population decline due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its specialized habitat niches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the delicate moisture balance required for this endemic daisy's survival.

Threat summary
