This slender, sparsely branched Anginon difforme shrub presents its typical habit in the Kouga, where one of its typical habitats occurs.

The long, needle-like leaves of the common needle-leaf or wildevinkel curve up, growing only on the upper parts of each woody stem. These plants may be encountered from the Richtersveld to here in the Eastern Cape, both inland and near the coast (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Coates Palgrave, 2002; iNaturalist).
