Description

Syringodea derustensis


It is Redlisted as Vulnerable
"A range-restricted species (EOO 400 km²) known from less than 10 locations. It has experienced past loss to urban expansion and crop cultivation around De Rust and to dam construction in Dysselsdorp. Decline is ongoing due to informal housing expansion around De Rust. This species is also potentially threatened by ostrich farming.

At the planning meeting in 2014, this species was allocated to the Outramps as a Priority monitoring species. We finally found 1 plant on Lidiikwe and this is a first for us.
