Popis:	A study of nutrient distribution in the flowering stem of proteas was carried out in commercial protea plantations of each of the cultivars ‘Scarlett Ribbon’, ‘High Gold’, ‘Veldfire’, and ‘Sunrise’ of Leucospermum cordifolium, and of the species L. patersonii located in a subtropical zone (La Palma Island, Canarian Archipelago). Flowering stems were cut into different parts: flower bud, leaves from half proximal stem to the flower bud, leaves from half distal stem to the flower bud, half proximal stem to the flower bud, and half distal stem to the flower bud. Nutrient content of the different parts of the flowering stems of the cultivar and the species gave significant differences in some cases, depending on the nutrient and the cultivar. Occasional dissimilarities among the levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) were determined in comparisons among half proximal stems and half distal stems, indepen...
