National Status |
Status and Criteria | Data Deficient - Insufficient Information |
Assessment Date | 2018/05/24 |
Assessor(s) | D. Raimondo, R.C. Turner & L. von Staden |
Justification | Euryops subcarnosus subsp. minor is a rare, localized and poorly known taxon, last recorded in 1954. Based on currently available data, its risk of extinction cannot be assessed. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Northern Cape |
Range | It is endemic to the Kamiesberg in Namaqualand, South Africa. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Kamiesberg Mountains Shrubland, Namaqualand Granite Renosterveld, Kamiesberg Granite Fynbos |
Description | Its habitat is unknown, but is likely to be granite hills. Field surveys are needed to confirm this. |
Threats |
| As there are no recent field observations of this species, and historical records have imprecise locality descriptions, the threats to this taxon are unknown. It is possibly threatened by overgrazing, which is causing degradation in parts of the Kamiesberg. |
Population |
This is a rare and very poorly known taxon, last collected in 1954. It is possibly overlooked, and field surveys are needed to relocate it in the wild. The current population trend is not known.
