"Albuca nana is known only from the type specimen, collected more than 100 years ago at Redhouse, an area now extensively transformed due to urban and industrial expansion of Port Elizabeth. It is highly likely to be extinct, but surveys are needed to confirm this. A large proportion of the genus Albuca is still in need of revision, and this species has been overlooked and may have been misidentified in the past as it belongs to the section of Albuca not yet revised. In addition, a number of species known only from Port Elizabeth and previously thought extinct have recently been relocated around the city, and a small chance remains that this species could still be found."
