Isopogon mnoraifolius (Isopogon mnoraifolius)

Description

It grows as a 40–80 centimetres (16–31 in) high shrub, with greyish branchlets covered with fine fur. The leaves are generally divided and up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long and 3 centimetres (1.2 in) wide. Flowering takes place in September, with the oval orglobular flower heads appearing at the ends of stems. They are 3–4 centimetres (1.2–1.6 in) in diameter, with the individual cream-yellow flowers 1.7–2 centimetres (0.67–0.79 in) long. The flowers fall to reveal an oval 2.2 cm diameter cone that bears the seeds.The flowers are partly hairy, which distinguishes the species from I. anemonifolius and I petiolaris, which both have entirely hairless flowers.
