Abstract
Spain), which occurs exclusively on gypsum substrates, under lower-mesomediterranean lower-dry bioclimate. A sole population is currently known in the surroundings of Villena, with an Area of Occupancy of 1037 m2 and only 432 individuals recorded, this site suffering a severe anthropic pressure not only from livestock overgrazing, but also from a project to develop a photovoltaic plant on that area. In consequence, this population has become extremely fragile and shows a very high risk of extinction, which suggests H. bilyanense to be labelled as “critically endangered" (CR), according to the IUCN categories and criteria.
