Spatalla curvifolia, the white-stalked spoon, is a flower-bearing shrub that forms part of the fynbos. The plant is native to the Western Cape of South Africa.
The shrub is flat, rounded, grows only 80cm (30inches) tall and flowers all year round. The plant dies after a fire but the seeds survive. The plant is bisexual and pollinated by insects. Two months after the plant has flowered, the ripe seeds fall to the ground where they are spread by ants.
The plant occurs from Kogelberg to Bredasdorp. It grows in sandy soil at elevations of 0m-350mm (00feet-1,150feetm).
