This structural perennial plant is distinguished by imposing flower stalks that can reach two meters in height, evergreen sword-like leaves, and velvety yellow-green inflorescences, being heavily used in hybridization due to its high resistance to fungal diseases and temperature fluctuations.
• Red and green kangaroo paw — An iconic species of the Anigozanthos genus, famous as the floral emblem of Western Australia, remarkable for the spectacular chromatic contrast of its inflorescences.
