Seseli cuneifolium

Declining

Overview

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

Seseli cuneifolium faces severe pressure from agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited Mediterranean range. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to land-use changes, while its small, fragmented populations are susceptible to genetic bottlenecks and local extinctions from stochastic events.

Threat summary

Habitat

This Mediterranean endemic inhabits dry, rocky slopes and calcareous grasslands, typically found on limestone substrates in coastal and inland hill country. The species requires well-drained soils and open habitats with minimal competition from taller vegetation.
