Protea punctata, also known as the water sugarbush or water white sugarbush, is a shrub belonging to the genus Protea which is found growing in the wild in South Africa. It is endemic to South Africa, found in both the Eastern and Western Cape provinces, and grows in seeps in shale or sandstone-derived soils, at altitudes of 1,200 to 2,000 metres. It blooms from the late summer to the early winter, from December to June, but mainly in the autumn from March to April. The plant is monoecious with both sexes in each flower, and the mature plants die after the wildfires which occur in their native region. The South African National Biodiversity Institute assessed the conservation status of the species as 'least concern' in 2009, and again in 2019.
