Erythroseris amabilis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Erythroseris amabilis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its limited montane habitat range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while collection for horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures alter the cool, moist conditions this alpine plant requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits cool, moist montane grasslands and alpine meadows at elevations between 2,000-3,500 meters. It typically grows in well-drained soils among rocky outcrops and requires the specific microclimate conditions found in high-altitude ecosystems.
