Diastella divaricata

I think this is my favourite member of the Proteaceae.  The Diastellas, bearing their tiny (15mm) flowers, occur only in the south-western portion of the Western Cape and this particular species, Diastella divaricata subspecies montana, is only known in the Kogelberg to Franschhoek region. We saw this one whilst walking on the Perdeberg Trail in the Kogelberg.
