Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
An endemic species from the Western Cape Province, South Africa (EOO 1 121 km<sup>2</sup>). The subpopulations are in inaccessible terrain that is unsuitable for human activities. There are no threats. The taxon thus qualifies globally under the IUCN criteria as Least Concern.
Distribution
Endemic to the Western Cape Province in South Africa, on the Outeniqua mountains near Avontuur in the west and the Kouga mountains near Uniondale in the east.
There is no information currently available. It is probable that there are numerous subpopulations along the vast, inaccessible mountain ranges on which the taxon occurs, but these remain unexplored.
