The shrub grows 2 m tall and flowers from September to October. The plant dies in a fire but the seeds survive. The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant and fall to the ground after a fire. The plant is unisexual and there are separate plants with male and female flowers, which are pollinated by insects. The plant grows mainly on level areas, in dry sand over clay soil at altitudes of 130–150 m.
In Afrikaans it is known as Klapmuts-tolbos.
