Description
The shrub grows 6 m (20 ft) tall and flowers from September to December. The plant dies after 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, possibly spreading by the wind. The plant is unisexual and there are separate plants with male and female flowers, which are pollinated by the wind.
Range & habitat
The plant grows in river beds. The tree's national number is 81.4. In Afrikaans, it is known as Pondotolbos.
