proteaceae

Proteaceae is a family of evergreen plants, trees, shrubs and herbs native to Africa and the southern hemisphere. The flowers are formed by big bracts that protect the inner inflorescence. In the category you can see the protea and the leucospermum: what makes these plants very attractive is the flower that has a peculiar shape. This family includes also the Macadamia genus that is cultivated for its edible nuts.
