Protea glabra, also known as the Clanwilliam sugarbush, is a flowering shrub found in South Africa. It is also referred to by other names such as chestnut sugarbush, Clanwilliam protea, and kayang bush. This plant has a conical shape and can grow up to 5m tall, blooming from July to November. It is monoecious, with both male and female flowers on the same plant. The plant is pollinated by birds and beetles, and its seeds are dispersed by the wind. It is typically found in shallow sandstone soils or cracks in rocks at altitudes of 500-1,500m. While it can re-sprout after being burned, it usually grows in areas with low risk of wildfires. Protea glabra is endemic to South Africa and is commonly found in the Western Cape region. It is not considered to be under severe threat.
