Greyia radlkoferi, the woolly bottlebrush or Natal bottlebrush, is a shrub or small tree, native to South Africa .[1] It grows up to 5 metres in height and has smooth yellowish bark, becoming grey and deeply furrowed as it matures. The leaves are oval or heart-shaped and woolly on the undersurface, which distinguishes the species from Greyia sutherlandii. The scarlet flowers occur in dense, upright clusters from July to October in the species' native range.[1]
It is named for Ludwig Adolph Timotheus Radlkofer.
