Habitat

Dense stands occur on the Cape Peninsula, elsewhere usually encountered as scattered plants. Note: Native to southern Western Australi a on granite soils. Probably introduced into South Africa in the 1830s, it was well establi shed by the start of the 20th century. It has not spread as rapidly as the other species, requiring 6 years to flower and set seed. However, it has recently been appearing in much larger numbers in remote areas and is obviously spreading rapidly. It has not yet been considered enough of a problem to warrant biocontrol measures.
