Brunia noduliflora
Brunia noduliflora is a species of flowering plant in the Family Bruniaceae. It is commonly called the cone stompie in English or knoppiesbos in Afrikaans, is an evergreen shrub native to South Africa.
B. noduliflora, being a serotinous plant, requires special treatment of its seeds to simulate post-fire conditions in order to germinate. Cuttings from its stems can also be propagated. It is best planted in well-draining fynbos gardens with acidic soil.
Brunia noduliflora is endemic to the southern and southwestern Cape of Africa. It is common from the Olifants River Mountains to Piketberg, the Cape Peninsula, Jonkershoek, Hottentots Holland Mountains, and the Kogelberg through to the Hermanus and Elim. It can also be found around the Van Stadens Mountains and around Uitenhage.
It is sometimes used in floral arrangement for its unusual seedheads and long-lasting foliage. It is available under the trade name "Spray Brunia".
