État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
The population size was reported to be less than 600 individuals (Montmollin and Strahm 2005). It was later estimated to be between 1,800 and 2,100 individuals (Commission of the European Communities 2009), and at about 1,000 individuals according to Tsintides et al. (2007).
Excluding hybrid subpopulations at the ‘Mavrokolympos’ Natura 2000 site, Andreou et al. (2015) considered the population to be stable at around 1,000 mature individuals, reporting the following numbers of mature individuals during a three-year monitoring project; 955 (2006), 1,669 (2007), and 1,044 (2008). Some colonies have been lost as the result of vineyard cultivation in 2007, although population size at other sub-populations increased over the period 2006-2007 (Andreou et al. 2015). The species populations are considered to be severely fragmented.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
The construction of roads at one site (‘Vouni Panagias’) and the low to moderate frequency of human induced fires were identified as the direct threats to the plant (Andreou et al. 2015). Competition from synanthropic species, such as Allium neapolitanum Cyr., Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke, Muscari comosum (L.) Mill., Hordeum bulbosum L., Trifolium clypeatum L., Opopanax hispidus (Friv.) Griseb., Veronica cymbalaria Bodard subsp. panormitana (Tineo ex Guss.) O.Bolòs & Vigo, Stellaria media (L.) Vill. subsp. media, Octhodium aegyptiacum (L.) DC., Galium aparine L., was evidenced at one sub-population (Andreou et al. 2015). Ecosystem conversion to cultivated areas and inbreeding due to the small and isolated subpopulations (Lienert 2004) were recorded, too. Kadis and Christodoulou (2006) also reported logging and forest clearance, and impacts from predators as threats.The above threats have been identified for Scilla morrisii sensu Meikle (1985) at Vouni Panagias.

All known individuals are within the Parco delle Madonie Regional Natural Park, with some individuals also within the Monte Quacella, Monte dei Cervi, Pizzo Carbonara, Monte Ferro, Pizzo Otiero Site of Community Importance (Habitats Directive). The survival of this species depends on the conservation of the remaining oak forests and Pistacia trees. These have been considerably reduced by logging for timber, road construction and expansion of farmland. Large old oak trees have become rare and scattered where there used to be a closed forest cover. While the overall number of individuals do not seem to be declining, some sites within known sub-populations have been lost as a result of habitat conversion (Andreou et al. 2015), and the extent of its habitat is decreasing due to road construction, increased agricultural land use, and other threats (Montmollin and Strahm 2005).
