- Description: This whole range could well have been covered in both Protea subvestita and Protea multibracteata before being heavily overstocked with cattle. Even on the flats in the foreground relict patches of multibracteata occurred until the 1970's. Good populations of sugarbirds could therefore have existed.

- Description: Cape and Gurney Sugerbird Promerops cafer & Gurneyi country. The left-hand dome is Hoho Peak, or Pirie West Peak, on the western slopes of which both species where found occupying and nesting in a thicket of tall, dense Protea subvestita, almost the last patch of any size on these mountains. The dark areas on the slopes are protea trees. Those on top had been burned out. Such thickets would have been more widespread in the past. Below are some Protea multibracteata plants. The thickets of subvestita were burnt out in the late 1960's to make way for stock grazing.
