Brunia noduliflora, commonly called the cone stompie in English or knoppiesbos in Afrikaans, is an evergreen shrub native to South Africa.

Description

Brunia noduliflora has a woody rootstock from which many stems sprout. Their ericoid leaves are stalkless and resemble triangular or lance-shaped overlapping scales. Their spherical, cream inflorescences have long stamens, giving them a "fluffy" appearance. These flowers are short-lived, but their globose grey-brown seedheads are more persistent.

Range

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.

Habitat

This shrub is found on hills and rocky sandstone slopes.

Ecology

Brunia noduliflora is endemic to fynbos grassland where periodic fires are common. A fire-adapted plant, it has two strategies for surviving fires - reseeding and resprouting. Its underground woody rootstock, or lignotuber, resprouts the following year during autumn, while seeds retained in its seedheads are dispersed after being released by burning.

[Brunia noduliflora는 주기적인 화재가 흔한 fynbos 초원 고유종입니다. 화재에 적응한 식물로, 화재에서 살아남기 위한 두 가지 전략, 즉 다시 씨를 뿌리고 다시 싹을 틔우는 두 가지 전략이 있습니다.  지하 목본 대목 또는 리그노투베르는 이듬해 가을에 다시 싹을 틔우고, 씨앗 머리에 남아 있는 씨앗은 불에 태워 방출된 후 흩어집니다.]

Etymology

The generic name Brunia may honor either Cornelius Brun, an apothecary and contemporary of Linnaeus, or the ship surgeon and botanical collector Alexander Brown. The specific epithet noduliflora is derived from Latin and describes its flowering habit - "nodulus" meaning "knot" and "flos" meaning flower - thus, "knotted flowers".
