Scientific Name | Kalanchoe crundallii I.Verd. |
Higher Classification | Dicotyledons |
Family | CRASSULACEAE |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Rare |
Assessment Date | 2009/07/30 |
Assessor(s) | L. von Staden, P.M. Burgoyne & J.E. Victor |
Justification | EOO 52 km², AOO estimated <1 km², four to five known subpopulations are small and isolated and therefore considered severely fragmented, and there is a slight potential threat of harvesting for horticultural purposes, but harvesting appears to not be causing declines and is unlikely to cause extinction in the near future. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Limpopo |
Range | Restricted to mistbelt areas in the western Soutpansberg Mountains west of Wyllie's Poort. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Soutpansberg Mountain Bushveld |
Description | Mistbelt, grows among large boulders in open woodland or on forest margins. |
Threats |
As this is a rare, range restricted species, it is potentially threatened by succulent collectors removing mature individuals. However, collecting appears to have only a minimal impact and is not likely to cause declines or local extinctions even at the type locality (Hahn 2002). |

Population trend | Stable |
