Threats |
| Some subpopulations are potentially threatened by habitat loss and degradation due to expansion of rural settlements, crop cultivation and overgrazing, however these threats currently affect only a small proportion (<5%) of this species' habitat, and is unlikely to lead to its extinction. |
Population |
Plants occur singly, and is thus far known from only a few records (MartÃnez-AzorÃn et al. 2012). It is however also easily overlooked in dense vegetation and is much more common than records indicate (A.P. Dold pers. comm. 2014).
