In Afrikaans, it is known as persblaartolbos.[citation needed]
The shrub grows 1.3 m (4.3 ft) tall and flowers from July to August. The plant dies after a fire but the seeds survive. The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant and fall out of the toll onto the soil after two months where they are spread by rodents. The plant is unisexual and there are separate plants with male and female flowers, which are pollinated by small beetles.[citation needed]
Leucadendron pubibracteolatum occurs in the Outeniqua Mountains, Kouga Mountains, and Baviaankloof Mountains from George to Joubertina, Scholtzberg, Swartberg, and the Kammanassie Mountains. The plant grows mainly in rocky, sandy soil at 300–1,000 m (980–3,280 ft).[citation needed]
