Assessment Date | 2007/05/19 |
Assessor(s) | D. Raimondo |
Justification | EOO 975 km², known from fewer than 15 locations. Threatened by ongoing habitat loss to rooibos tea cultivation. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | Gifberg to northern Cederberg Mountains. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Fynbos |
Description | Sandy restionaceous flats. |
Threats |
| Rooibos tea cultivation is a severe ongoing threat to this species as Rooibos is cultivated only in sandy soils, the habitat of this species. Although this species has been recorded to occur in old agricultural lands it is unlikely that there are many abandoned fields as the Rooibos industry is thriving. It is also not known if the plants can still survive in cultivated fields after repeated ploughing, it may well be that the plants seen in old fields were growing in fields that had just been ploughed once and left to recover. |
