| Scientific Name | Euryops nodosus B.Nord. | Higher Classification | Dicotyledons | Family | ASTERACEAE |
National Status | Status and Criteria | Least Concern | Assessment Date | 2019/11/05 | Assessor(s) | D. Raimondo & V.R. Clark | Justification | Euryops nodosus is widespread, common and not in danger of extinction. It is therefore listed as Least Concern. |
Distribution | Endemism | South African endemic | Provincial distribution | Northern Cape, Western Cape | Range | This species is endemic to South Africa, and is widespread across the Great Karoo, from the Nuweveld Escarpment to Cradock. |
Habitat and Ecology | Major system | Terrestrial | Major habitats | Roggeveld Karoo, Eastern Upper Karoo, Upper Karoo Hardeveld, Western Upper Karoo | Description | It grows in stony flats and hillsides in renosterveld and karroid shrubland, often on dolerite. |
Threats | | There is ongoing habitat degradation as a result of livestock overgrazing throughout its range. Two recent field surveys, the Greater Biodiversity Escarpment project (2005-2009), and the Karoo BioGaps Project (2015-2017) recorded numerous subpopulations, indicating that this species is very common and quite likely resilient to disturbance. The population is not suspected to be declining. |
Population | There is no information available on the population of this species.
| Population trend | Stable |
