“…The phosphorus-phobia vis-à-vis the Proteaceae is widely circulated in the commercial literature [c.f., "Provided phosphate is totally withheld, average pH levels of 5 will be acceptable..." (Riverlea Nursery undated)] and has received attention from researchers (Allemand et al 1995;Malan 1996). Rates of fertilization considered normal for other woody plants often caused phytotoxicity to proteas, and Munro (1990) related that growers were advised not to supply P in their fertilizer programs.…”

“…Other culture and management issues requiring research include: salinity tolerance, irrigation frequency and amount, pruning for optimal flower production and plant growth habit, and the interaction of nutrition with vegetative and reproductive phases of growth. The culture of Leucospermum under protected cultivation and soilless culture systems is receiving attention in areas where the climate is marginal for outdoor culture (Allemand et al 1995;Montarone and Allemand 1995).…”

More than 1400 species have been recognized in the ancient Proteaceae family (Rebelo 1995). Their occurrence is mostly distributed between Australia with about 800 species and Africa with about 400 species with the remainder found in South America, the islands east of New Guinea, and a few species in southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Madagascar. They are broadly referred to as proteas, although we identify specific genera by their Latin names. The subfamily Proteoideae, largely found in Africa, has contributed the genera Protea, Leucadendron, and Leucospermum to floricultural trade, while the Australian Grevilleoideae has contributed Banksia and Grevillea that have found similar use in floriculture and landscaping. Other genera are still emerging in importance (Criley, 2001
