OrchidMAP:   754
Province:   KwaZulu-Natal
Country:   South Africa
Locus:   2831DC
Observer:   Gill Richard
Date of record:   1998-01-01
Number of photos:   2
Notes:   There was a very healthy population on a particular rock that was raided by the Zululand Orchid Society members that I took to Ongoye (one lady had about 10 large plants in her lap on the way back. Was the last time I showed anyone any of my special places. :( As to scarcity the area is inaccessible to most people and so unlikely to be threated by less-serious collectors. The forest is heavily used by local communities, but as far as I know they don't target stenoglottis for muti.
