About

A shrub or small tree endemic to Western Australia's south coast, prized for its globular red-and-cream pincushion flower heads. Threatened by land clearing, weed invasion and altered fire regimes.

How to spot it

Blue-green, flat, lance-shaped leaves 7-21cm long on smooth grey bark; flower heads are dense globes of 120-190 individual flowers with dark pink-to-red perianths and cream-white styles, giving the pincushion look.
