According to the SANBI Red List Assessment, this species is Rare as it is known from two collections, is thought to be under-explored and is not threatened due to the inaccessibility of its habitat (Victor et al. 2006). This genus is currently in demand and of popular interest in international horticultural trade, as indicated by several online marketplace, e-commerce and auction sites. Another species of this genus is known to be threatened with harvesting of wild individuals (Raimondo & Turner, 2006). Plants of this genus were among those targeted and/or confiscated during recent criminal prosecutions of illegal plant collecting. This suggests that this genus may be targeted and that rare species may be at risk to exploitation.
