Scientific Name | Acmadenia faucitincta I.Williams |
Higher Classification | Dicotyledons |
Family | RUTACEAE |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Vulnerable D2 |
Assessment Date | 2023/02/27 |
Assessor(s) | J.E. Victor, N.A. Helme & S.L. Hutchinson |
Justification | It is only known from one location which is potentially threatened by too frequent fire and alien plant invasion. It is therefore listed as Vulnerable under criterion D. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | This species is found from Blokkop above Villiersdorp. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Hawequas Sandstone Fynbos |
Description | It grows in sandstone slopes in fynbos. |
Threats |
| The population is potentially threatened by too frequent fires and spreading alien invasive plants (mainly pines). This species is close to an informal settlement and has had three fires in 10 years (N.A. Helme pers. comm. 2006). |
Population |
It is only known from one location, where the species was last collected in 1978, and no population data recorded. An unsuccessful attempt to rediscover this species is believed to be due to searching in the wrong location, and not because the species is extinct. The habitat is still intact and not under immediate threat.
|
Population trend | Stable |
Conservation |
| This species is not currently conserved in any formally protected area. |
