Staminodianthus rosae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Staminodianthus rosae faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its limited montane range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change threatens to shift suitable habitat zones beyond the species' adaptive capacity. Collection pressure for horticultural trade has also been documented as a contributing factor to population decline.
Habitat
Staminodianthus rosae is endemic to rocky montane slopes and alpine meadows at elevations between 2,000-3,500 meters. The species typically grows in well-drained, calcareous soils among sparse vegetation communities adapted to harsh mountain conditions.
