[2] The individual flowers are loosely arranged to form a globose (spherical) unit, spreading slightly in fruiting stage.

[3] The staminal scales occur well below the throat of the corolla tube (about 1 mm (0.039 in) above the base) and are reduced to rounded ridges and lack lateral lobes.

Populations are also known from Hermanus, the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, and from the lower northern slopes of Table Mountain, where the type specimen for this species was collected.

[6] While individuals may resprout from the lower stems or the trunk after fire if not too badly burnt, this species mainly recolonises through seeds.

[3] Cuttings from the tips of branches or thin side shoots root taken in spring or autumn well provided that they are not kept too wet.

They should root after about two or three months if placed in a sandy bed that receives the cooler morning sun and are sprayed occasionally, whenever they look stressed.

Treat the seeds with hot water and thereafter with smoke to simulate fire in order to aid germination.
