HABITAT

C. albicans occurs in scrubland on soils derived from ultramafic substrate from 100 to 1,000 m asl.

THREATS

This species does not seem directly threatened, although some subpopulations may be impacted by actual mining activities (Camp des sapins (SLN), Koniambo (KNS) and Kopéto (SLN)) and potential future mining projects at Creek Pernod.
