Viguiera media
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Viguiera media faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban expansion and agricultural conversion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native habitat. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting this drought-adapted species.
Habitat
Viguiera media inhabits dry scrublands and rocky slopes in semi-arid regions, typically growing in well-drained soils with sparse vegetation cover. The species is adapted to areas with low annual rainfall and high temperature variation between seasons.
