Sorocephalus scabridus, also known as the Tulbagh clusterhead, is a flowering shrub found in the Western Cape region of South Africa. It is a part of the fynbos ecosystem and is endemic to the area, specifically in the Great Winterhoek Mountains and Olifants River Mountains. This shrub grows up to 80 cm in height, has an upright growth pattern, and blooms from October to January. While fire can destroy the plant, its seeds are able to survive. The plant is bisexual and relies on insect pollination. After flowering, the fruit ripens and the seeds are dispersed by ants. Sorocephalus scabridus thrives in mountainous areas with sandstone soil at elevations between 900 and 1850 m.
