Protea restionifolia
Also called Reedleaf Sugarbush, Restio Leaf Erodendrum, Restio Leaf Sugarbush
Protea restionifolia, which is also known as the Reed-leaf sugarbush, is a flowering shrub endemic to the Western Cape province of South Africa where it is found from the upper part of the Breede River Valley through the Bot River Valley to
Wolseley and the Koue Bokkeveld Mountains.
According to some sources pollination probably occurs through rodents, although this is based on a single observation. Another newer source states that it is pollinated by birds and insects.
