'''''Greyia radlkoferi''''' ('''woolly bottlebrush''' or '''Natal bottlebrush''') is a shrub or small tree, native to [[South Africa]].<ref name=SANBI>{{cite web|title=''Greyia radlkoferi''|publisher=South African National Biodiversity Institute|url=http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantefg/greyrad.htm|accessdate=2009-12-08}}</ref> It grows up to 5 metres in height and has smooth yellowish bark, becoming grey and deeply furrowed as it matures. The leaves are oval or heart-shaped and woolly on the undersurface, which distinguishes the species from ''[[Greyia sutherlandii]]''.The scarlet flowers occur in dense, upright clusters from July to October in the species native range.<ref name=SANBI/>
