Status and Criteria | Critically Endangered B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii) |
Assessment Date | 2006/09/12 |
Assessor(s) | D. Raimondo |
Justification | EOO and AOO <10 km², this taxon has not been seen for 25 years at the only known location that is densely invaded by alien plants. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | Soetanysberg. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Overberg Dune Strandveld, Overberg Sandstone Fynbos |

Threats |
| This taxon may have lost habitat to crop cultivation in the past, but agricultural expansion has largely ceased and is no longer a severe threat. Most of this taxon's remaining habitat is protected within the Agulhas National Park. Most of its habitat however remains densely infested with alien invasive plants, and although alien plants are managed, it has caused such severe habitat degradation that extensive rehabilitation is still needed. |
