Mountain Devil - Lambertia formosa by annied

Mountain Devil - Lambertia formosa

Commonly found along the coast of New South Wales from Grafton south to Jervis Bay and in the tablelands from the Blue Mountains south to the Budawang Range.
The Mountain Devil is a member of the Proteaceae family and gets its name from the beaked and two-horned, woody fruit which resembles a little devil.
