Protea dracomontana, the Nyanga protea[3] or the Drakensberg sugarbush,[5][6] is a flowering plant that belongs within the genus Protea. The plant is found in the Eastern Cape, Lesotho, KwaZulu-Natal and the escarpment of the Free State,[7] as well as eastern Zimbabwe.[3][7] In Zimbabwe this species is only known from a disjunct subpopulation confined to the summit of Mount Nyangani.[4]
Another vernacular name for this plant is Drakensberg dwarf sugarbush. In Afrikaans it is known as the Drakensbergse dwergsuikerbos.[5]
