Lambertia formosa is native to NSW. It gains its common name, Mountain Devil, from its horned woody seeds. These are often used to make small devil-figures.

The flowers hold large amounts of nectar and are pollinated by honeyeaters.

​

The nectar can be accessed by biting off the base of the new flowers and sucking the liquid.  The flowers generally appear in Spring and Summer.
