}} ''Liparia splendens'' (locally called Orange Nodding-Head or Mountain Dahlia) is a flowering fynbos shrub of the Fabaceae (legume) family, that occurs in the South-western Cape of South Africa. ==Description== In spite of its common name, this plant is in fact unrelated to ''Dahlia'', and is part of the legume family. This multi-branching, re-sprouting, flowering shrub reaches about 1 metre in height. The flowers ("nodding heads") appear from autumn until summer. The flower heads each comprise over 15 individual flowers and are orange-yellow in colour. The flowers resemble those of ''Protea'', as they have adapted to the same pollinator, the sunbird. The plant can survive the frequent fynbos fires as it has a large, strong underground root-stock from which it resprouts. However it is very difficult to grow in cultivation and usually dies when grown outside of its natural habitat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liparia splendens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
