appears to be rare and localised, and no previous collections are known. This may be partly due to the assumed biology of the species, which is likely to be a fast growing, short lived perennial that flowers only for the first 4 or 5 years after fire, and then persists in mature veld as a soil stored seed bank. This ecological trait is a relatively common feature of the genus. The only known population consists of a few flowering plants, outside a protected area, and close to a recently constructed road. The species was discovered during an environmental impact assessment. Nick Helme assessed (personal communication) this species to be critically endangered (CRD; population size estimated to number fewer than 50 mature individuals) under the IUCN Red list categories and criteria (

), but notes that the species may be under-collected due to its apparent need for fire in order to stimulate germination and flowering. Anecdotal evidence from local farmers suggests that it probably also occurs on the plateau higher up in the local “backlands”.
