Protea rupestris, also known as rocket sugarbush, is a flower-bearing tree of the genus Protea found in Malawi, Mozambique, Angola and Tanzania. Growing up to 10 metres tall, it blooms from May to December and is monoecious with both sexes in each flower. Its seeds are dispersed by the wind and pollinated by birds. It grows in open forests and mountainous grasslands at altitudes of 1,200 to 1,950 metres, but is considered relatively uncommon. Wildfires can destroy the tree, but the seeds survive and germinate after being exposed to rain and fire.
