Justification: P. ghetaldii has an extent of occurrence (EOO) <5,000 km² (area of occupancy (AOO) <500 km²), and occurs at more than five locations but no more than 10 depending upon the interconnectivity of the Polje. There is a continuing decline of AOO due to water extraction, droughts and channelisation of the rivers. |
