Family | FABACEAE |
Synonyms | Liparia crassinervia Meisn. |
Common Names | Small Mountain Dahlia (e) |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Vulnerable A2bc; D1+2 |
Assessment Date | 2012/12/11 |
Assessor(s) | A.L. Schutte-Vlok & D. Raimondo |
Justification | A localized species (EOO 70 km², AOO <20 km²), that has declined by 30% due to urban development on the southern Cape Peninsula. Remaining subpopulations are small and scattered, and the population is likely less than 1000 mature individuals. It remains potentially threatened by urban development, alien plant invasion and too frequent fire. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | Southern Cape Peninsula. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos |
Description | Fynbos, in rocky places below 300 m. |
Threats |
| This species has lost habitat in the past to urban development and is still potentially vulnerable in many places to too frequent fire and to the spread of invasive alien plants. The majority of remaining subpopulations occur within the Table Mountain National Park where aliens are currently being managed. |
Population |
This species occurs as stands of a few individuals, we suspect that less than 1000 individuals are extant.

Population trend | Stable |
