The shrub grows only 80 cm high, grows upright and flowers from October to January. Fire destroys the plant but the seeds survive. The plant is bisexual and pollination takes place through the action of insects. Two months after the plant has flowered, the fruit ripens and the seeds fall to the ground where they are spread by ants. The plant grows in mountainous areas between rocks in sandstone soil at elevations of 900 – 1850 m.
