Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden, South Africa

Family: Fabaceae (Pea)

Distribution: Sneeberg Mountains north of Graaf Reinet

Habitat: Karoo Escarpment Grassland: dolerite-derived loamy-clays and black turf soils on high-altitude plateaus from 1700-2150m

National red list: Vulnerable

Life form: Perennial plant

Comments: A very localised endemic of the Sneeuberg Mountain Complex, known from three locations over less than 30km². Being so localised and a high altitude alpine habitat speclialist makes it particularly vulnerable to warming from climate change-related temperature increases or any habitat impacts.
