Telopea speciosissima, R. Br. (Embothrium speciosissimum, Smith). Waratah. Warratau. Stout glabrous shrub 6-8 ft. high: lvs. cuneate-oblong, 5-10 in. long, mostly toothed in the upper part, coriaceous: fls. crimson, in a dense ovoid or globular head 3 in. across: involucral bracts colored, the inner ones 2-3 in. long. New S. Wales. B.M. 1128. G.C. II. 17:677; III. 55:348. Gn. 22:400. I.H. 34:29.—One of the showiest shrubs of New S. Wales. The heads are 3 in. across and 3-4 in. deep and bear a rough resemblance to a florist's chrysanthemum. The showiest parts, however, are involucral bracts. This plant is known as waratah. It is one of the most distinct members of its family, for a horticultural account of which see Protea. Seeds of this species are imported into Calif. frequently, but although they germinate readily, the seedlings damp-off still more readily. Probably if the plant were once established it could be easily prop. by layering or by cuttings. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
