Senecio holubii

[Surroundx]

"This species is only known from the type specimen, collected in 1876 in a remote area of South Africa near the border with Botswana. This area is botanically relatively poorly explored, and it may be overlooked. However, a recent field survey of rare, endangered and endemic plants of North West province found the area to be severely degraded, and the species could not be relocated (Hahn 2013). The status and trend of the population is not known, and it is possibly extinct, but more field surveys are needed to confirm this."
