État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
Historical records indicate that Trianoptiles capensis was formerly common on the Cape Peninsula and Cape Flats, but most of these subpopulations are now locally extinct due to habitat loss to urban expansion. It survives only in a few protected areas such as Kenilworth Race Course and the Cape Point section of the Table Mountain National Park. Further north across the Cape Coastal Lowlands, and south-eastwards towards the Agulhas Plain, records are more sporadic, but this grass-like herb may also be overlooked. Even in these areas, it continues to suffer ongoing habitat loss and degradation, and very little of its natural habitat remains. It is also known from one historical record from around Knysna, but this species is yet to be recorded in the coastal plains between Cape Agulhas and Knysna. More surveys are needed to more accurately determine the abundance and exact range of this species.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
Urban expansion has caused extensive decline of subpopulations on the Cape Peninsula and Cape Flats. Elsewhere, this species continues to be threatened by habitat loss to crop cultivation, and damming and drainage of wetlands and streams for agricultural expansion. Much of this species' remaining habitat is densely infested by unmanaged alien invasive plants.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesStratégies de conservation IUCNExpert
There are no known conservation measures specifically for this species, but the species is known to occur in a number of protected areas, but most of them are protecting small, isolated fragments of lowland vegetation, and require ongoing, intensive management (particularly clearing of alien invasive plants) to preserve their often very high threatened plant species diversity. Protected areas where this species has been recorded include Harmony Flats Nature Reserve, Kenilworth Racecourse, and Riverlands Nature Reserve.
