Ethulia greenwayi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ethulia greenwayi faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its restricted montane habitat range. The species' limited distribution across fragmented highland areas makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat conversion for crop cultivation and intensive grazing practices. Climate change poses an additional threat as shifting temperature and precipitation patterns may alter the delicate ecological conditions required for this endemic plant's survival.
Habitat
Ethulia greenwayi is endemic to montane grasslands and highland areas of East Africa, typically occurring at elevations between 1,800-3,000 meters. The species inhabits rocky slopes, grassland margins, and disturbed areas within montane ecosystems where it grows in well-drained soils.
