Assessment Date | 2007/09/12 |
Assessor(s) | N.A. Helme & D. Raimondo |
Justification | Known from two collections: one made in 1926 and a recent collection by N.A. Helme, from a small subpopulation of about 20 plants. It is possible that a few other subpopulations exist, but not many as it has not been found by A.L. Schutte-Vlok (Amphithalea expert) who lives in this area and has explored extensively. It is therefore estimated that fewer than 250 plants exist. |
