Hieracium sublividum

Local name: mörkstiftig hällfibbla

Unknown

Overview

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

Mörkstiftig hällfibbla faces severe pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized rocky outcrop environments. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to local disturbances, including quarrying activities and recreational climbing that can destroy the specific crevice microhabitats it requires. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture regimes and temperature conditions of its high-altitude rocky habitats.

Threat summary

Habitat

This specialized hawkweed inhabits rocky outcrops, cliff faces, and stone crevices in mountainous regions, typically at higher elevations. It requires specific microhabitat conditions with well-drained, mineral-rich soils in partially shaded rock fissures.
