Assessor(s) | E.G.H. Oliver & R.C. Turner |
Justification | Not seen for over 100 years. The habitat and altitudinal range are not known. If it occurs on lower slopes it is likely extinct as these areas have been extensively transformed, mainly by invasive alien plants. This is an inconspicuous, tiny-flowered, wind pollinated species and it may be present at slightly higher altitudes where it remains overlooked. |
