Delosperma gautengense

Delosperma gautengense is known only from two subpopulations. The population size is currently estimated to be about 6,000–6,800 mature individuals. The area where one of the subpopulations occurs (Elardus Park) has been extensively urbanized It is reasonable to assume that 10 to 15 years ago (1985–1990), this subpopulation was at least twice the size it currently is (i.e., a 21% decline in the last three generations).
