Lebeckia plukenetiana is a species of flowering plant in the genus Lebeckia. It is endemic to the Western Cape of South Africa.[1][2]
Lebeckia plukenetiana was once found in the Swartland and upper Breede River Valley; ± 75% of its habitat has been lost to urban expansion and wheat, vineyard and deciduous fruit cultivation in the past 150 years. Its range is from Piquetberg down to Darling, Worcester and the Hex River to the Cape Peninsula.[1][3]
