Hieracium concinnatum

Unknown

Overview

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

Hieracium concinnatum faces severe population decline due to habitat destruction from urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable to invasive plant species that outcompete it for resources in its specialized alpine and subalpine habitats. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the temperature and precipitation patterns essential for its survival at high elevations.
