Zannichellia aschersoniana is an endangered species of aquatic plant endemic to the West Coast of the Western Cape, South Africa. [2]
Zannichellia aschersoniana is found between Lambert's Bay to Stilbaai in freshwater wetland systems. [1]
Zannichellia aschersoniana is assessed as critically endangered in the SANBI Red List of South African Plants, and endangered in the IUCN Red List due to its relatively small area of occupancy of less than 10 km2 in two locations around the Cape Peninsula. Its existence is threatened by the degradation of wetlands through urban expansion and the introduction of invasive alien plants. [2] The species hasn't been recorded since the 1960s. [1]

Senecio cadiscus is a species of aquatic flowering plant in the aster family, Asteraceae. It is endemic to the Western Cape of South Africa, where it grows in vernal pools. It was at one time classified as Cadiscus aquaticus, the only species in the monotypic genus Cadiscus, but molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that it is nested within Senecio. It is a floating or emergent plant with small narrow leaves and white-rayed flowers. Its populations are small and fragmented, and are declining. The plant is threatened by grazing and trampling by livestock, invasive plants, reclamation of wetlands and eutrophication from fertilizer runoff. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has consequently rated it as "critically endangered".
