There was no winner for this competition.  The answer is Broad-leaf Featherbush - Aulax umbellata.

Identify this member of the Protea family (see the distribution map) and win yourself a Protea Atlas T-shirt. 

Atlassers have found the distribution of this protea family member to be as in the below map (The black dots indicate where the protea occurs). There are clues on this website that will help you, so browse to your heart's content. Alternatively, use the Sasol Proteas and the distribution maps provided in the book, to identify this protea.

Hint: This member of the protea family is an erect shrub to 2.5m tall and is single stemmed. The map shows the southern tip of Africa
