Tshaj tawm li South Africa lub paj hlwb hauv tebchaws 1976, tus huab tais protea ( Protea cynaroides) yog ib qho paj ntoo zoo nkauj thiab nws lub teb chaws nws tus kheej. Pom tshwj xeeb tshaj tawm nyob rau hauv lub Tshaj Koob Florist Region, tus huab tais protea belongs rau Protea genus, uas yog ib feem ntawm cov tsev neeg Proteaceae - ib pawg uas muaj li ntawm 1,350 ntau hom.

Kev Tshaj Tawm ntawm Tsev Neeg Proteaceae
92% ntawm protea hom yog teb rau lub pob zeb Floristic Thaj Chaw, thaj chaw nyob rau sab qab teb thiab sab qab teb South Africa tau lees paub tias yog UNESCO ntiaj teb Heritage Site rau nws txoj kev muaj ntau yam tsis zoo ntawm botanic. Yuav luag tag nrho cov proteas loj tuaj rau sab qab teb ntawm tus Dej Limpopo - tsuas yog rau ib qho, uas loj hlob nyob rau ntawm cov roob hauv Mount Kenya .
Nws xav hais tias cov poj koob yawm txwv cov neeg Proteaceae tau tshwm sim ua ntej tsheej lab ntawm cov xyoo dhau los, thaum cov av qeeg hauv thaj av qab teb tseem tuaj yeem koom siab ua lub tuam tsev qub, Gondwana. Thaum lub teb chaws muab faib ua ob sab, tsev neeg tau faib ua ob tsob-tsev neeg - cov Proteoideae ceg, uas yog tam sim no endemic rau cov teb chaws Africa (xws li huab tais protea), thiab Grevilleoideae ceg.
Cov tsiaj ntawv tom kawg yog pom muaj nyob rau hauv Southwest Australia, nrog cov cheeb tsam me me nyob rau sab hnub tuaj Asia thiab South America.
Protea tshawb fawb
Cov cheeb tsam nyob rau ntawm lub Floric Region thiab lub xeev floristic ntawm Southwest Australia tau qhia tshwjxeeb tshwj xeeb rau cov kws kho mob botanists. Cov cheeb tsam no sawv cev rau ob lub ntiaj teb feem ntau loj tshaj plaws biodiversity hotspots. Raws li kev tshawb nrhiav los ntawm British biologists, tus nqi ntawm evolution yog peb lub sij hawm sai dua qhov qub, nrog cov kab mob tshiab proteins tshwm txhua lub sijhawm thiab ua rau muaj kev lom zem ntau yam ntawm lub neej cog.
