[2] They are also found in Eswatini,[2] but are most common in the coastal and dune forests of KwaZulu-Natal.

The leaves are leathery, shiny, and dark green, with whitish margins.

The flowers open from late afternoon to early morning and attract night-active pollinator moths.

Birds eat the fruit; helping to remove the orange pulp which contains a growth inhibitor that otherwise slows germination of the seeds.

[2] Snails and the larvae of the Bush Night Fighter butterfly, Artitropa erinnys, feed on the leaves.
