Synonyms | Bubon capense (Eckl. & Zeyh.) Sond., Bubon multiradiatum E.Mey., Oreoselinum capense Eckl. & Zeyh., Peucedanum capense (Eckl. & Zeyh.) D.Dietr., not of (Thunb.) Sond. (1862), Peucedanum kamiesbergense B.L.Burtt, Peucedanum multiradiatum Drude, Peucedanum polyactinum B.L.Burtt |
Common Names | Lidbossie (a) |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Least Concern |
Assessment Date | 2012/02/29 |
Assessor(s) | D. Raimondo & A.R. Magee |
Justification | A widespread and common species occurring in montane areas where it is not threatened. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Northern Cape, Western Cape |
Range | Kamiesberg Mountain to Betty's Bay. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Fynbos |
Description | Fynbos on rocky or stony, moist, sandy slopes or along streams. In the Kamiesberg it is restricted to granite fynbos vegetation at the base of granite boulders on summit peaks. |
Threats |
| Subpopulations occurring on the Kamiesberg are vulnerable to heavy grazing by goats. Climate change is also very likely to be a threat to subpopulations on the Kamiesberg as it occurs on or within 100 m of the summit. Elsewhere within the range subpopulations are not threatened. |
Population |
Population trend | Stable |
Notes |
| The range-restricted taxon Peucedanum kamiesbergense (Burt 1991), which was previously listed as Vulnerable (Raimondo et al. 2009), is now considered a merely extreme northern form of the widespread Notobubon capense and has been included under this species (Magee et al. 2009). |
