Protea nana

Sadly, most of the flowers had already bloomed. Nana - Well 'nanus' is a dwarf, but I am not getting the feminine declension so perhaps it comes from somewhere else (unless its one of those odd words with an ambiguous gender - my dictionary doesn't tell me).

Leucadendron salignum. Baines Kloof (62)
