Pavetta zoutpansbergensis Bremekamp (1933: 260).
Type:— SOUTH AFRICA. Limpopo: Zoutpansberg Dist. [Soutpansberg], Fundudzi, 23 January 1931, C. E. B. Bredenkamp & H. G. W. J. Schweickerdt 349 (holotype PRE! [barcode PRE0147921 -0]; isotype PRU! [barcode PRU0002499 -0]).
Pavetta hirtiflora Bremekamp (1934: 161).
Type:— SOUTH AFRICA. Limpopo: Shilouvane [Shiluvane], Janvier (défleuri) [January (losing its flowers)], H. A. Junod 829 (holotype G image! [barcode G00359392]; isotypes PRE!, K image! [barcode K000412389], M image! [barcode M-0183269]).
Distribution:—Soutpansberg through to the Wolkberg following the Great Escarpment (Fig. 1).
Conservation status:— Least Concern (LC). Pavetta trichardtensis var. trichardtensis encompasses an EOO of approximately 8380 km 2 and an AOO at a 2 km cell width of 68 km 2 or AOO at a 5 km cell width of 375 km 2. As Boon et al. (2020) pointed out, a 5 km cell width gives a more realistic estimation of the AOO than the recommended 2 km cell width (IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee 2019) given a plant with few locality points. Taking into consideration the EOO and AOO, var. trichardtensis would fall under the Vulnerable category. Nonetheless it does not fulfil any of the additional criteria for such a listing and is therefore assigned a conservation status of Least Concern.
