Disa newdigateae

[Surroundx]

"Known from one subpopulation near the Crags, Plettenberg Bay, where six plants were collected between 1895 and 1931. It has not been seen since. The area around the Crags is threatened by housing development and encroachment from invasive alien species, but since information on the precise site is not known, it is hard to say whether or not habitat destruction has led to the extinction of this species. Numerous searches in the area have failed to relocate this species."
