Description
The shrub grows 1.7 m (5.6 ft) tall and flowers mainly from September to November. Fire destroys the plant but the seeds survive. The plant is bisexual and pollinated by insects. The fruit ripens two months after flowering, and the seeds fall to the ground where they are spread by ants. In Afrikaans, it is known as harigestylsepter.
Range & habitat
The plant occurs at Wolfieskop in the Riviersonderend Mountains, Groenlandberg, and Houhoek. It grows in sandstone soil at altitudes of 500–1,000 m (1,600–3,300 ft).
