'''Waratah''' ('''''Telopea''''') is a genus of five species of large [[shrub]]s or small [[tree]]s in the [[Proteaceae]], native to the southeastern parts of [[Australia]] ([[New South Wales]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] and [[Tasmania]]). They have spirally arranged [[leaf|leaves]] 10-20 cm long and 2-3 cm broad with entire or serrated margins, and large, dense [[flower]]heads 6-15 cm diameter with numerous small red flowers and a basal ring of red [[bract]]s. The name ''waratah'' comes from the [[Eora]] Aboriginal people, the original inhabitants of the [[Sydney]] area.
