Karen people, living in the Mae Chaem District use the leaves of the species as a compress to muscle pain in their ethnopharmacological system.Lawa people, living alongside the Karen villagers, do not use the taxa as an ethnomedicinal plant, which indicates that cultural history and background are more important factors in ethnopharmacology than geographic area.

Relative to the intermediate-sized savanna population (Clade 2), these island-populations within Clade 1 are characterised by either gigantism (South African eastern Great Escarpment and Mts Mabu and Inago in Mozambique) or dwarfism (Lutope-Ngolangola Gorge, Zimbabwe and Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa). (blogspot.com)
Genus1
With a genus of this size, it should be hardly surprising that taxonomic complications are involved. (fieldofscience.com)
Leathery1
Leaves range from papery to leathery, as they age they become glabrous, cuneate base with is somewhat decurrent into the petiole, with an entire margin, though sometimes distinctly serrate or just serrate on the apical half, apex are either shortly acuminate, more or less acuminate or obtuse.

Leaves are soft, oval, and grey-blue in colour, to about 30 mm long and about 6 mm wide. (austplants.com.au)
Diameter1
The flower clusters have up to 7 flowers and are approximately 7 mm (little over ¼") diameter, but make up for this size deficit by being bright cream, yellow, orange and scarlet, with colours darkening as flowers mature. (blogspot.com)
Flowers2
Deep green serrated leaves complement spectacular large red domed flowers. (tiborsaghy.com)
Proteaceae flowers do not have any discernible petals or sepals (having only one whorl) and so these are referred to as "tepals" of which there are 4. (austplants.com.au)

Clusters1
It has larger flower clusters and leaves, but differs most obviously (as do all three) by the length of the petaloid bracts that surround the flower clusters and the bracteoles that surround each flower. (blogspot.com)
Stems1
While, in P. dulcis , leaves possess the major photosynthetic surface area, in P. arabica , green stems perform this function, in particular during the winter after leaf drop. (frontiersin.org)

Form1
In many local markets, the demand for hydroponically grown watercress exceeds supply, partly because cress leaves are unsuitable for distribution in dried form, and can only be stored fresh for a short period. (seeds-gallery.com)
Oval1
Unlike G. lavandulacea , G. 'Jelly Baby' has broad soft oval leaves. (austplants.com.au)
Gene1
