Rationale

Known from only one site (farm Lillie) in Limpopo Province but could be more widespread. As the distribution is essentially unknown, the species is considered Data Deficient.

Distribution

This species is found on granite hills and outcrops in the eastern Lowveld near Mica in the Limpopo Province, South Africa (Jacobsen et al. 2014). It is recently described, and has only been recorded from one site to date, but could be more widespread.

Population trend

Trend

Given the lack of information on this species distribution, no estimate of population trends can be made.

Threats

Threats to this species are unknown.

Uses and trade

Not known to be traded.

Conservation

Better information regarding this species' distribution is needed. It has been recorded from one site to date, but it is not known if the species is very restricted, or if this represents a lack of basic distribution data in the area.
