"This species shares the same habitat and localities as Euryops mirus, but unlike E. mirus it has not been collected since 1960. There has been over 90% conversion of its habitat in the past 70 years to crop cultivation. The only remaining habitat are tiny fragments of renosterveld between wheat and Rooibos fields. These fragments are currently grazed by sheep, and as Euryops species are highly palatable this has probably caused a severe decline in individuals. D. Raimondo and J.P. Roux searched the last remaining fragments extensively in August 2007 and found no plants - this species is possibly extinct."
