Pulicaria aromatica

Unknown

Overview

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

Pulicaria aromatica faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from urban development and agricultural expansion across its Mediterranean range. Overgrazing by livestock has degraded remaining populations, while climate change-induced drought stress threatens the species' ability to reproduce successfully in its already fragmented habitat patches.

Threat summary

Habitat

This aromatic herb inhabits dry, rocky slopes and Mediterranean scrubland, typically growing in calcareous soils at elevations between 200-800 meters. It thrives in open, sun-exposed areas with well-drained substrates, often found along hillsides and in degraded maquis vegetation.
