Forms a small tree/large shrub from 3 to 5 mt high.
Like a number of other Protea flowers, ranges in colour from pink to creamy-green, with a black fringe that intergrades to white. Again, produces a highly scented nectar attracting birds and insects alike.

Found at altitudes ranging from sea level to 1300 metres. |
