Protea laevis is a flowering shrub native to the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is known by the vernacular names of gladdeblaardwergprotea or gladde-blaarsuikerbos. It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810. It takes the form of a prostrate shrub, with the main stem being subterranean and growing up to 80 centimetres (31 in) in diameter. It blooms in late Spring, from September to February, with the peak from September to November. Pollination occurs through the action of rats, mice and birds. It is rare, and usually found as solitary individuals or in isolated, small groups of less than two dozen plants. The population numbers are thought to be stable.
