The shrub grows 2 m (6.6 ft) tall and flowers from September to October. The plant dies after a fire but the seeds survive.[citation needed] The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant and fall two months after flowers are formed from the toll to the ground. The plant is unisexual and there are separate plants with male and female flowers, which are pollinated by insects.
In Afrikaans, it is known as Grabouwtolbos.
The plant occurs from Grabouw to Houhoek Pass in the Elgin valley. It grows in loamy soil on style, at southern slopes at altitudes of 220–300 m (720–980 ft).
