Heliotropium aff. wagneri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Heliotropium aff. wagneri faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range, particularly from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in coastal and semi-arid environments. Urban development and infrastructure projects pose additional threats to remaining populations. The species' limited distribution makes it especially vulnerable to localized disturbances and environmental changes.
Habitat
This species typically inhabits coastal scrublands, rocky slopes, and semi-arid grasslands with well-drained soils. It shows preference for disturbed or edge habitats where competition from other vegetation is reduced.
