Win a Protea Atlas T-Shirt! - November Competition
All submitted entries to this competition were incorrect and there was thus no November 1999 winner.
The answer to this competition is Laurel-leaf Sugarbush - Protea laurifolia.
There was some suggestion that this protea was the Arid Pincuhion - Leucospermum calligerum. This was a pretty good answer, but can be immediately discounted because Leucospermum calligerum occurs on the Potberg east of Cape Agulhas. The below distribution map shows no proteas in that area (Potberg).
Identify this member of the Protea family (see the distribution map) and win yourself a Protea Atlas T-shirt.
Atlassers have found the distribution of this protea family member to be as in the below map (The black dots indicate where the protea occurs). There are clues on this website that will help you, so browse to your heart's content. Alternatively, use the Sasol Proteas and the distribution maps provided in the book, to identify this protea.
Every month a new protea (any member of the protea family) will feature. The quiz will alternate between pictures, distribution maps and some historical/medicinal or horticultural feature of proteas. Please feel free to enter every month. This month's prize is a cream, crew-neck T-shirt, with pocket emblazoned with the protea atlas logo. Please specify your size (s,m,l,xl).
Rules:
- Volunteers, Protea Atlassers and members of the public may enter. No Protea Atlas Project Staff Member or the Webmaster may enter this competition.
- A previous winner of this competition does not win a T-Shirt unless there is a two month break to his/her winning streak. The previous winner may still submit an answer.
- Your single entry must reach the Protea Atlas office by 30 November 1999. It should e-mailed to protea@nbict.nbi.ac.za
- Both the genus and the species name should be submitted. Please use either the Official Common Names for Proteas or the botanical scientific name.
- The first correct entry drawn out of the hat is the winner.
- The results of the draw will be published at this web site.
