Justification | Known only from the type, collected before 1931 at an unspecified locality in the Sneeuberge on the border between the Northern and Eastern Cape. According to Müller-Doblies and Müller-Doblies (1996) this species is clearly distinct, however, it remains too poorly known to determine its risk of extinction. |
