The shrub grows up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) in height and flowers from August to October. 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 heuningreuksepter. The tree's national number is 72.6.[3]

Distribution and habitat

The plant occurs in the Rooiberg, Huis River Pass, and Touwsberg. It grows in sandstone sand at altitudes of 600–1,300 m (2,000–4,300 ft).
