Found in coastal Healthland areas (like Upper Sweetwater Reserve) and grows in moist, well drained, sandy soil.
It is a slow growing shrub and has very thorny, hard leaves which branch off into segments of three and are antler shaped. Hence the name Ceratophyllus meaning antler leaved.
The Horny Cone bush flowers in Spring, followed by the seed pods and can take many years to flower and produce seed.
Look out for it, as it is quite a sight!.
