Assessment Date | 2014/05/19 |
Assessor(s) | L. von Staden |
Justification | A widespread (EOO 68 560 km²), but localized habitat specialist (AOO <330 km²), but not suspected to be declining or in danger of extinction. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Free State, Northern Cape, North West |
Range | Kuruman to Sannieshof, Kroonstad and Prieska. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Grassland, Nama Karoo, Savanna |
Description | Margins of salt pans in grassland or open scrub, often on limestone derived soil. |
Threats |
| The eastern parts of this species' range is extensively cultivated, and it may have suffered some habitat loss and degradation within these areas. Salt pans are however not suitable to growing crops, and most are still left intact. None of this species' known locations have been impacted. |
Population |
This species is a widespread, but localized habitat specialist. It is recorded from at least 10 locations, but is likely to be much more common as it occurs in a botanically poorly explored part of South Africa.
