Ecology It has been found growing in rocky areas (e.g. rock crevices along a stream bank), ericoid shrubland at elevations of 1,300 to almost 2,200 m.
Flowering specimens were collected from March to May, fruiting plants in October, while plants collected in December and January had either shed their nutlets or bore very young inflorescences. [details]
