Assessment rationale/justification
Although this species is widely cultivated within the UAE, and there appears to be a question over the origin of the plant within the country, the majority of the UAE Native Plant Working Group generally accepted Salvadora persica as a native species. It remains difficult to distinguish between originally wild and cultivated populations of the species. However, it is relatively widespread throughout the country. Therefore, it is assessed as Least Concern.
