Paramiflos glandulosus

Unknown

Overview

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

Paramiflos glandulosus faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its limited range. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, while its restricted distribution increases extinction risk from localized threats. Collection pressure for horticultural trade has also contributed to population declines in accessible areas.
