Flowering takes place between August and November. Something very akin to this species occurs in the uppermost parts of the Swartberg Mountains and may belong to this species but only a few isolated plants have been found near the summit and although similar in many features the plants appear to be part of the hybrid swarm reported from the Swartberg Pass (

The known isolated distribution of this species lies within a protected area. It has no perceived threats. A drying climate may be a long-term threat as it probably relies on precipitation from mist for its moisture requirements. It dominates the local vegetation. It is currently assessed as of Least Concern:
