Family | RUTACEAE |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Vulnerable D2 |
Assessment Date | 2006/01/29 |
Assessor(s) | J.E. Victor |
Justification | One known location is potentially threatened by alien plant invasion. Alien invasions are currently cleared within protected areas, but may re-invade if management practices were to change. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | Agulhas National Park, Soetanysberg. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Agulhas Limestone Fynbos |
Description | Limestone outcrops in restionaceous vegetation. |
Threats |
| This taxon's habitat is densely infested with alien invasive plants, but since the area was declared a protected area, there has been ongoing efforts to clear alien invasive plants. There however remains a high risk of re-invasion from soil-stored seed banks, and ongoing clearing and management will be needed in future. |
Population |
Population trend | Stable |
Conservation |
| This taxon's entire population is protected within the Agulhas National Park. |
