Diosma haelkraalensis, or Hagelkraal's diosma, is a rare low shrub from a tiny stretch of limestone in South Africa's southwestern Cape. Its rarity and very restricted habitat make it a conservation concern rather than a common garden plant.
Diosma haelkraalensis, or Hagelkraal's diosma, is a rare species of plant endemic to the southwestern Cape Provinces of South Africa.
Hagelkraal's diosma grows in crevices in the limestone of the Bredasdorp geological formation. It only occurs on an approximately 2.5 km (1.6 mi) stretch of the mountain range between Pearly Beach and Hagelkraal.
