Narcissus bugei
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Narcissus bugei faces severe population decline due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited Mediterranean range. Overgrazing by livestock has degraded the species' preferred grassland and scrubland habitats, while climate change is altering precipitation patterns critical for this bulbous perennial's growth cycle. Collection pressure for horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations of this endemic daffodil.
Habitat
Narcissus bugei inhabits Mediterranean grasslands, scrublands, and rocky slopes at elevations between 200-1200 meters. The species typically grows in well-drained calcareous soils in open areas with seasonal moisture patterns.
