Scientific Name | Jordaaniella maritima (L.Bolus) Van Jaarsv. |
Higher Classification | Dicotyledons |
Family | AIZOACEAE |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Data Deficient - Insufficient Information |
Assessment Date | 2012/02/09 |
Assessor(s) | L. von Staden & E.J. van Jaarsveld |
Justification | Only known from the type, which was collected prior to 1925. Not enough is known about the distribution and population of this species to determine its status. If it is confined to the Stilbaai area it is likely to be very threatened or even extinct. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | Stilbaai. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Albertinia Sand Fynbos |
Description | Coastal dunes. |
Threats |
| Likely to be threatened by coastal development and alien invasive plants. |
Population |
Population trend | Unknown |
Notes |
| This taxon was included under the widespread and common Jordaaniella dubia in a 1984 revision of the genus (Hartmann 1984), but reinstated in 2001 because plants of both species in cultivation at Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden do not interbreed (Van Jaarsveld 2001). Due to the taxonomic problems the species remains poorly known and there are no recent collections or observations of plants in the wild to determine the status of the population. |
