Population |
The species occurs in the transition area between the succulent karoo and Bushmanland. It is rare and sometimes absent in dry years, but large subpopulations emerge during years of good rainfall (Klak 2012). The population is not suspected to be declining. It is currently known from three subpopulations, but it is likely that more, still undiscovered subpopulations exist as its habitat is extensive, and the area is botanically still relatively poorly explored.
