Description
The shrub grows 2.5 m (8.2 ft) tall and flowers from August to October. The plant dies in a fire but the seeds survive. The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant, fall to the ground after a fire and are spread by the wind. The plant is unisexual and there are separate plants with male and female flowers. In Afrikaans, it is known as Hopefield-tolbos.
