It is only found in a small area and is threatened by habitat destruction and illegal collection. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve this species, including cultivation for commercial use.
Diosma haelkraalensis, also known as Hagelkraal's diosma, is a unique and rare plant species found in South Africa. It is a small shrub that grows up to 30 cm tall with rough branches and small, hairless leaves. The plant produces white flowers and is pollinated by insects, with its seeds dispersed by ants. What makes this plant even more special is its chemical composition, containing a compound that is in high demand by the fragrance and flavor industries. However, due to its limited distribution and threats such as habitat destruction and illegal collection, this species is considered critically rare. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve this plant, including cultivation for commercial use.
