Large, fairly hardy plant that forms an attractive, dense, rounded shrub or, if pruned, forms a lovely small tree. It has glossy, handsome, distinctly veined, serrated leaves that are olive green above and creamy brown below. It produces clusters of yellow flowers with a red tinged throat in profusion between Oct. and Feb., but may flower intermittently all year round. Birds will utilise the dense structure of Anastrabe for nesting and as a source of food from the insects that are attracted to the flowers. The hard wood is utilised for building and carving as it is termite resistant.
