Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Endemic to the Limpopo Province Wolkberg Centre of Endemism in South Africa (EOO 1 032 km<sup>2</sup>). There are a large number of subpopulations and there are no significant current threats. Many more subpopulations have been discovered and its range has extended since it was listed as rare in 2013. Thus the taxon qualifies globally under the IUCN criteria as Least Concern.
Distribution
Endemic to Limpopo Province in South Africa, from near Polokwane in the west to Ofcolaco in the east.
Plantations could be extended as the area is widely used for pine plantations. At present no such developments are foreseen and if this occurs on a small scale it could have a small impact on subpopulations in that area.
