Protea scabra

Protea scabra

Description:

Mat-forming, resprouting shrublet with rough, erect, needle-like to narrow oval leaves 100-300mm long; bears cup-shaped flowerheads 30-50mm in diameter.

Habitat:

Sandy slopes and extreme southwestern Cape.

Notes:

Have never seen a protea growing on the ground, use to them growing on large shrubs. So this was quite a sighting for me.
