Isopogon uncinatus
Albany cone bush is a small, spreading shrub from a very restricted area near Albany in southwest Western Australia, and it is the rarest Isopogon species. It is grown mainly in native and conservation plantings, and it needs well-drained, acidic soil and a sunny spot.
Isopogon uncinatus, commonly known as Albany cone bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to a restricted area near Albany in Western Australia. It is a small shrub with very short stems, linear to egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and spherical heads of yellowish flowers. It is the rarest isopogon and was thought to be extinct until rediscovered in the 1980s.
Albany cone bush grows in stunted jarrah scrub in swampy depression and on hillslopes near Albany where it is only known from nine small populations.
