This is a summary of Protea caespitosa, a flowering shrub found only in South Africa. It is a rounded shrub that can grow up to 70-100 cm in height, and has lanceolate or broad leaves. It is monoecious with both sexes in each flower, and flowers from mid-winter to summer. It is found in the Cape Fold mountain ranges, and is typically found on the summits of mountains in a substrate of Cederberg shale or sandstone. It is considered 'vulnerable' by the South African National Biodiversity Institute, but is well-conserved, with 96% of the population protected in nature reserves.
