Leucospermum profugum
Leucospermum profugum is an evergreen shrub of up to 8 m (25 ft) in diameter, with at base leafless main branches, that trail over the surrounding vegetation and rock, from the family Proteaceae. It has hairless and leathery inverted lance-shaped to oblong leaves tipped with mostly three or four teeth and flattened egg-shaped flowerheads of 9–12 cm (3.6–4.8 in) in diameter, that consist of initially yellowish orange flowers that later changing to salmon pink. From the center of the flowers emerge almost straight styles that jointly give the impression of a pincushion. It is called Piketberg pincushion in English. Flower heads can be found between late September and December. It is an endangered species, only known from three close locations in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
