Convolvulus persicus is a critically endangered species, endemic to the embryonic shifting dunes of Caspian Sea and Black Sea. The distribution of this species in Romania includes also the sand dunes on the seashores of Sfântu Gheorghe and Sulina. This paper presents new data about the endangered species Convolvulus persicus regarding the distribution and the effective population size in Romania. The conservation status of the embryonic shifting dunes, found in the mentioned sites in 2019, was reviewed, along with the threats for both the habitat and the species. Several protection methods were proposed.
