Protea amplexicaulis, commonly known as the clasping-leaf sugarbush, is a flower-bearing shrub native to South Africa. It is found in the Citrusdal to the Kogelberg and Langeberg regions, and typically grows in sandstone soils at heights of 180 to 1,600 meters. The shrub is unisexual and is pollinated by rats and mice. It flowers from June to September and can reach a diameter of 1.3 meters. Fire destroys the plant, but the seeds are able to survive and are spread by the wind. In Afrikaans, the plant is known as ′aardroos-suikerbos′.
