The white flowering form of Protea repens has the usual rows of acutely pointed involucral bracts around the flowerhead but white-tipped. The inner, taller ones appear white in the photo, the outer ones cream.
The bud on the left is still greenish white. Long side-branches have already grown past the erstwhile stem-tip, now flowering. The stems, mainly pale orange, are variously coloured along their lengths in sections differing in age.
The leaves spaced along the stems are round-tipped and tapering into their pale cream petioles. The narrow, spatulate or spoon-shaped leaves become up to 15 cm long (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Manning, 2007).
