État de la populationExpert

No quantitative population data are available for this species. It is known from only five collections, collected between 1961 and 2016. It has been recorded as locally common to rare by some past collectors. It was noted to be rare during botanical survey work in 2014 and 2016.

Description complète des menacesExpert
There are no known threats to this species; its habitat is not impacted upon by illegal gold mining or other associated human activity in the Chimanimani mountain range. There has been an increased frequency of fire associated with this human activity which is affecting some habitats, notably the ericaceous bushlands, but it does not appear to be having a negative impact on the sparse rocky grasslands that this species prefers. Therefore, the current levels of burning are not considered to be a threat to this species, although the impact of fire across the mountains should be monitored.
