Description
AIZOACEAE
Extinct in the wild
“This taxon has been targeted by plant collectors since its discovery in the 1920s. By the late 1950s, Schwantes (1957) expressed concern that it is becoming increasingly rare in the wild, but excessive wild collecting continued until the 1980s, when only one plant remained (Hammer 2002). In addition, livestock grazing and trampling has contributed to habitat degradation and trampling damage to the last remaining wild plants, and prevented the successful establishment of seedlings.” SANBI
