Petrophile species are native and endemic to Australia and most are endemic to western Australia where the majority of species are to be found. This one is mostly found in the far south west corner of the wheatbelt above Albany. Petrophile species are pollinated by insects but a few by small marsupial animals. As with many of the Proteaceae family this plant has strange and wonderful flowers and quite spectacular spiked glaucous leaves making this an ideal plant to start the year 2011.
