Justification | EOO 411 km², AOO <20 km², five known locations are declining due to alien plant invasion and urban and coastal development. Its wetland habitat it is also potentially sensitive to degradation from groundwater extraction. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Western Cape |
Range | Hottentots Holland Mountains to Palmiet River and Bredasdorp. |

Major habitats | Overberg Dune Strandveld, Kogelberg Sandstone Fynbos, Agulhas Sand Fynbos, Hangklip Sand Fynbos |
Description | Restricted to marshy areas below 130 m. |
Threats |
| Urban development has led to the extinction of subpopulations from the Cape Peninsula. It remains a threat to subpopulations occurring in Kleinmond. Alien plants are a severe threat to all locations. As this is a species restricted to marshy areas, ground water extraction is likely to have an impact on remaining subpopulations. |
