Fire destroys the plant but the seeds survive. The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant and are released after a fire and possibly spread by the wind. The plant is dioecious; there are male and female plants that reproduce by wind pollination. The plant grows on northern slopes at altitudes of 1100-1350 m.

In Afrikaans it is known as Syblaartolbos.
