There is little information available regarding this species. This may be due to lack of records for this specific species in addition to confusion surrounding taxonomy. Although Plants of the World Online recognises this as an accepted species, Ghazanfar (2007) suggested that this may be conspecific with Silene austroiranicus. Further research to validate its taxonomic status and distribution within the UAE is needed. As a result, it is currently assessed as Data Deficient.

This species is considered to be at least 'frequent' within its range in the Hajar Mountains and Ru'us al-Jibal, and it is known to occur in at least one protected area. As a result, it is assessed as Least Concern.

This species is considered to occur both in the Ru'us al-Jibal and the Hajar Mountain range. However, there is no information on population size and threats. As a result, it is currently assessed as Data Deficient, with confirmation of a detailed distribution required.

This species is described as locally common within its preferred habitat of gravel plains and low montane areas within the UAE. It is also known to occur within at least one protected area (WWNP; Feulner 2016) within its range. It is assessed as Least Concern.

This species occurs in a variety of localities across the UAE, in addition to offshore islands. It is considered to be common within its range. It is assessed as Least Concern.

This species is relatively widespread throughout the eastern UAE and, in addition, it is known to occur in at least one protected area. However, it is unclear whether the species is common throughout its range or not. It is assessed as Least Concern.

This species is restricted to hills and mountain areas within the northeast of the UAE. Despite this, it is considered locally common within its range and is known to occur within at least one protected area. It is therefore assessed as Least Concern.

This species is thought to occur in the Ru'us al-Jibal and has also been recorded from the Hatta area, however, a detailed distribution of the species within this area is not available. Little information is also known about the species' habitats and ecology, and the taxonomic identity of this species with respect to Arenaria serpyllifolia requires confirmation. As such, it is assessed as Data Deficient, pending further information into its distribution within the UAE in order to accurately assess its extinction risk.

The only records of this species within the UAE are from to adjacent wadis in northern Ras al Khaimah, where a few scattered individuals are reported (Feulner and Roobas 2013). The total number of mature individuals is inferred to be less than 50. The species also occurs in the Ru'us al-Jibal at lower altitudes (Feulner 2011), however confirmation of presence within the UAE is required as its possible that these occurrences are the result of cultivation, due to most or all occurring in anthropogenic habitats. Based on the occurrence in the Wadi Ghalilah area, the extent of occurrence (EOO) and areas of occupancy AOO) are likely to be highly restricted, however these metrics have not been estimated as detailed locality records are not available. Based on the number of mature individuals being inferred to be less than 50, the species is assessed as Critically Endangered (CR D) and it is likely that the species may also qualify for a threatened category under criterion B based on the probably restricted EOO and AOO. Further research and survey work is needed for this species to confirmation its distribution, origin, and population status. No rescue effect from populations in Oman is considered likely because the nearest known populations are in Oman close to Al Ain.

This species is widespread at lower altitudes in the UAE. Although data are lacking on the population size and trend, the species is assessed as Least Concern as it is thought unlikely that it will approach the thresholds for a threatened category.
