Gentianella flaviflora

Unknown

Overview

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

Gentianella flaviflora faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its limited high-altitude range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat degradation, while climate change threatens to shift suitable growing conditions beyond its current elevational limits. Mining activities and infrastructure development in montane regions pose additional localized threats to remaining populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

Gentianella flaviflora inhabits high-altitude grasslands and alpine meadows, typically occurring in well-drained soils between 3,000-4,200 meters elevation. The species favors open, sunny locations with seasonal moisture availability in montane and subalpine zones.
