About this plant

Widdringtonia nodiflora

Widdringtonia nodiflora, the mountain cypress, is a species of conifer in the cypress family, Cupressaceae, native to Southern Africa. It usually grows at high altitudes, typically among rocks on mountainsides. Its foliage and wood are highly flammable while its natural habitat is prone to fire. To compensate, the species will coppice from its roots after being burnt down.
