Scientific Name | Cephalaria wilmsiana Szabó |
Higher Classification | Dicotyledons |
Family | DIPSACACEAE |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Data Deficient - Taxonomically Problematic |
Assessment Date | 2010/10/07 |
Assessor(s) | D.A. Kamundi, D. Raimondo & L. von Staden |
Justification | Known only from a few specimens, last collected in 1894. The validity of this taxon is doubtful: it is not sufficiently distinguishable from the widespread Cephalaria zeyheriana. |

Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Mpumalanga |
Range | Bronkhorstspruit and Lydenburg. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Grassland |
Description | Unknown. |
Population |
Population trend | Unknown |
Notes |
| The type of this species is scarcely separable from some of the forms included in the very variable Cephalaria zeyheriana, further collecting may show that the two are conspecific (Napper 1968). |
