Tasmanian Waratah

The Tasmanian waratah Telopea truncata is one of the five members of the Telopea genus, each endemic to different regions of Australia, and a member of the Proteaceae family. The plant was first described botanically by the French botanist Jacques Labillardière in 1805. These waratahs grow as small trees: see the inset note at top right. This one was flowering alongside the road in western Tasmania as we drove past (and very promptly stopped for photos).

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and faves on this. I hadn't seen the Tasmanian Waratah myself previously and was very impressed by it.
