  1. Taken at sunset on the slopes of Table Mountain this is a Wagon Tree. It is a member of the protea family (Protea Nitida) and indigenous to the Fynbos Biome
    It gets its name from the fact that it produced wood strong enough to repair the ox wagons used by early settlers.

  2. Carta Academica – #Universités flamandes et #apartheid : l’héritage d’#AndréVlerick - Le Soir

    👉 "Les universités flamandes et le courant #politique dominant continuent à méconnaître qu’#Israël est un État qui pratique l’apartheid. Il est temps de se rappeler que pendant plus de dix ans, l’apartheid en Afrique du Sud a été soutenu idéologiquement et financièrement par la #Flandre : #Protea, #Kredietbank, et #KBLux avec André #Vlerick comme figure de proue."

  7. During his PhD @unihohenheim he studied abiotic & biotic interactions in #Protea to understand plant community dynamics. These species interactions are important to understand the maintenance of biodiversity mediated by pollinators in a #biodiversity hotspot

  8. #Proteacynaroides, also called the #kingprotea, is a distinctive member of Protea, having, apparently… the largest flower head in the genus.

    The species is widely distributed in the southwestern and southern parts of South Africa.

    This one was growing in abundance in #OakleighSouth #Australia on a busy road and Ive been observing it from a far for a week now.

    It’s now perfect for a glorious photograph or two. So I didn’t waste this opportunity to share this beauty.
