Justification | This species has been recorded twice only, from two widely separated areas, namely Concordia in northern Namaqualand and Kliprand on the western edge of Bushmanland (EOO 1850 km²). It is highly likely to occur in the area in between these sites, as it has been botanically poorly explored, and thus this species is probably merely overlooked. |
