The waratah, a hardy Australian plant, has several adaptations to help it to survive in its environment.

  • It has thick waxy leaves to cope with dry seasons. The waxy surface prevents the leaves from losing too much moisture through evaporation.
  • Its large, bright flowers attract birds such as honeyeaters to assist pollination.
  • Waratahs live for a long time.
  • They are resistant to bushfires as, even if the plant above the surface is burnt, it is able to sprout again from the rootstock.
