Oldenlandia aegialodes
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Oldenlandia aegialodes faces significant pressure from coastal development and tourism infrastructure expansion along its native shoreline habitats. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and degradation from human activities. Rising sea levels and increased storm intensity associated with climate change pose additional threats to its coastal ecosystem, while invasive plant species compete for limited suitable habitat.
Habitat
This species is endemic to coastal areas and shoreline environments, typically found in sandy or rocky coastal habitats where it grows in specialized maritime conditions. It occupies a narrow ecological niche along coastlines, making it highly dependent on stable coastal ecosystems.
