About Leucadendron laxum I.Williams

Leucadendron laxum I.Williams, known as Vleirosie in Afrikaans, is a shrub that grows to 1.75 m (5.7 ft) tall. It blooms from September to October. This species is unisexual, with separate male and female individual plants, and it is pollinated by insects. Mature seeds are stored in a toll on female plants. When fire kills the adult plant, the stored seeds survive; the seeds are then released the following March.
