Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden, South Africa

Common name: Burchell's sugarbush

Family: Proteaceae (Protea)

Distribution: Western Cape

Habitat: Fynbos

National red list: Vulnerable

Comments: Given that it occurs in habitats only marginally suitable to cultivation, most habitat loss probably occurred relatively recently. Habitat loss continues, particularly as a result of recent expansion in wine and olive production within this species' range, and a further 30% population reduction in the next 20 years is likely (generation length 20 years).
