Fire exclusion has resulted in a declining reproductive output, and thus population size, of some species of pyrogenic plants. [3] Additionally, evidence suggests that fires that occur outside of normal seasonal burn times (typically summer months) can have negative repercussions on pyrogenic flowering plants, including lower flowering and seed production when compared to fire-exposed plants ...

Emerging flower. Mandevilla sanderi is a shrub with a naturally bushy habit, 2–3 meters high, or 4.5 meters (15 feet) if the climate is warm. It is able to develop long, woody stems based on lignin and climbs by twining around some support. This twining growth is characterized by long internodes, small
The old flowers fall off the spikes and up to 150 finely furred follicles develop, which remain closed until burnt in a bushfire. Each follicle bears two winged seeds. Response to fire is poorly known, although it is thought to regenerate by seed. Birds such as the yellow-tufted honeyeater and various insects forage among the flower spikes.
