is locally abundant in its habitat and the main population is protected by private ownership (Fynbos Private Nature Reserve). It is, however, restricted by a narrow range of distribution (area less than 20 km2). The coastal stretches where the plants occur are all on private land with limited access. The cliff edges rise sharply from the sea and their escarpments are not easy to access. We therefore assess this species to be Vulnerable under the South African Red List categories and criteria (VU D2,
