| Scientific Name | Ursinia glandulosa Magee & Boatwr. | Higher Classification | Dicotyledons | Family | ASTERACEAE |
National Status | Status and Criteria | Vulnerable D2 | Assessment Date | 2015/05/19 | Assessor(s) | L. von Staden | Justification | A localized species (EOO 43 km²), occurring at two to four locations and potentially threatened by overgrazing. |
Distribution | Endemism | South African endemic | Provincial distribution | Northern Cape | Range | Richtersveld, Vandersterrberg and Rosyntjieberg. |
Habitat and Ecology | Major system | Terrestrial | Major habitats | Rosyntjieberg Succulent Shrubland, Central Richtersveld Mountain Shrubland, Stinkfonteinberge Quartzite Fynbos | Description | Upper rocky slopes. |
Threats | | This species is localized to the central Richtersveld mountains, where grazing pressure is currently low. However, as rangelands on the plains and closer to settlements are becoming increasingly degraded, herders are starting to move their livestock into the mountains in search of grazing. |
