Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden, South Africa

Common name: Channel-leaf Sugarbush

Family: Proteaceae (Protea)

Distribution: Western Cape

Habitat: Fynbos

IUCN Red list: Not evaluated

National red list: Vulnerable

Life form: Perennial plant

Comments: A population reduction of at least 30% is estimated based on habitat loss due to urban expansion, agriculture and afforestation in the past 100 years (generation length >100 years). Remaining subpopulations occur in sheltered sites, but it is possible that this species was formerly much more common on the now highly transformed lowlands. It continues to be threatened by alien plant invasion, mining and overgrazing.
