"Many plants that have adapted to habitats prone to fire have
developed seeds that rely on fire as a precondition to germinating.
Other seeds germinate only when a certain microorganism is present in
the soil, or when a particular plant is already growing. With many
South African plants, exposing the seed to smoke is beneficial or
necessary to germination." (found at

I'd forgotten about the smoke.
