Not your ordinary bottlebrush. Beaufortia squarrosa is a medium open shrub. Leaves are arranged with geometrical precision - small and rounded, crowded along the stem in alternating opposite pairs. Flower heads are terminal rounded bottlebrushes, red and yellow being the main colours. Growing in low heath on sand.
