The plant is native to the Western Cape and occurs in the Wemmershoek Mountains to Villiersdorp, the western Riviersonderend Mountains, Hottentots Holland Mountains, Groenlandberg, Kleinmond and Klein River Mountains. The shrub is flat and grows only 50 cm high but 2 m in diameter and flowers throughout the year without an obvious peak. Fire destroys the plant but the seeds survive.
