Range and habitat
It is found from Maputaland to the eastern foothills of the Lebombo Mountains and in adjacent southern Mozambique. It occurs in closed woodland savanna and in sand forest, and is known from 12 locations. It has an extent of occurrence of 6,700 km², but is in decline, which is ascribed to clearing for subsistence crops and extraction of firewood.[2]
