-Describe the plant here...
+'''''Telopea mongaensis''''', commonly known as the '''Monga Waratah''' or '''Braidwood Waratah''', is a shrub or small tree in the [[Proteaceae]] family. Endemic to Australia, it grows at high altitude in south eastern [[New South Wales]]. It bears many red flowerheads in spring, each made up of 28 to 65 individual flowers, and has narrow green leaves. It is often seen in moist areas at the edge of [[rainforest]] or by streams in [[eucalyptus]] forests.
 ==Cultivation==
+''Telopea mongaensis'' is more tolerant of shade, heavier soils and cooler climates than its more showy relative. It grows as a more compact plant of around 2 m (7 ft) in height in full sun. It is frost tolerant and has been grown in southern England, and has been awarded an Award of Merit by the [[Royal Horticultural Society]] in 1980. It attracts birds to the garden.<ref name = "Wrigley 1991"/>
