Adenanthos dobagii
Adenanthos dobagii, commonly known as Fitzgerald woollybush, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It grows to a mere 50 cm (1+1⁄2 ft) high, with crowded small silvery leaves and insignificant pink or cream flowers. It occurs only in southwestern Australia, where it is found in Fitzgerald River National Park on the south coast.
It is unknown in cultivation, and has little to offer as an ornamental plant. It has been suggested that it would do best in a built-up rockery.
Adenanthos dobagii is certainly endemic to Western Australia, and appears to be restricted to a small area in the Fitzgerald River National Park, on the south coast of the state. A population numbering in the thousands ranges over about 10 km (6.2 mi) between Telegraph Track and Quoin Head; and there are also scattered plants along the coast between Quoin Head and Marshes Beach. In total there are seven populations comprising around 125000 plants.
