Phylica pubescens

.
.
Common name: veerkoppie, featherhead
Family: Rhamnaceae (Buckthorn)
Distribution: Western Cape
National red list: Least Concern
Comments: Featherhead is popular in posies and flower arrangements, is long lasting as a fresh cut-flower, dries very well and so is also popular in the dried flower trade. Horticulturally it is a fantastic filler plant, setting off the better-known proteas, ericas and restios to perfection. It would also make a suitable specimen plant where its sun-catching properties can be admired from various angles.
