Assessment Date | 2007/07/28 |
Assessor(s) | A.L. Schutte-Vlok, N.A. Helme & D. Raimondo |
Justification | A Kogelberg endemic (EOO 200 km²), known from 10 subpopulations, all of which consist of fewer than 10 individuals. The total population is estimated to be under 250 mature individuals. Potentially threatened by groundwater extraction. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | Kogelberg. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Kogelberg Sandstone Fynbos |
Description | Sandstone mountain seeps. |
Threats |
| These plants are resprouters and are therefore not impacted by the frequent fires currently impacting the mountain range where they occur. However being restricted to seeps they are dependent on ground water availability, future ground water abstraction is likely to cause declines. |
