Calothamnus glaber

Calothamnus glaber is a shrub growing to a height of 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) with leaves 50–75 millimetres (2.0–3.0 in) in length, 6 millimetres (0.2 in) wide and very narrow egg-shaped with the narrow end towards the base, the other end tapering to a sharp point. The flowers are bright red and arranged in small clusters amongst the older leaves and mostly on one side of the stem. The outer edge of the flower cup (the hypanthium) and the sepals are glabrous. The petals are 2.5–3 millimetres (0.098–0.12 in) long and have a jagged edge. The stamens are arranged in claw-like bundles 22–25 millimetres (0.87–0.98 in) long. Flowering is followed by fruits which are woody capsules, 5–6 millimetres (0.20–0.24 in) long.
