Protea recondita

Protea recondita also known as the hidden sugarbush, is a flowering plant of the family Proteaceae endemic to South Africa and distributed from the Piketberg and Cederberg to the Groot Winterhoek mountains. In Afrikaans it is known as gesigtoehouprotea or skaamroos.[1]

Description

A sprawling shrub up to 3 m across and 1m tall. Both sexes occur in each flower, which are produced mostly in May to July, extending to September.[1]

Ecology

The plant is killed by fire, but the seeds survive. The flowers are pollinated by birds, and the fruit is retained for a few years. Seeds are dispersed by the wind from seedheads on the plant. Range is from Piketberg and Cederberg to the Groot Winterhoek Mountains.[1]

Habitat

Mostly on rocky slopes between 1000 and 2000 m altitude. The plants are rare and scattered in rocky habitats, but in open habitat may form isolated but locally dominant dense clumps.[1]
