Proteaceae
The Proteaceae /ˌproʊtiˈeɪsiː/ are a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family comprises about 80 genera with about 1,600 species. Together with the Platanaceae and Nelumbonaceae, they make up the order Proteales. Well-known genera include Protea, Banksia, Embothrium, Grevillea, Hakea, Dryandra, and Macadamia. Species such as the New South Wales waratah (Telopea speciosissima), king protea (Protea cynaroides), and various species of Banksia, Grevillea, and Leucadendron are popular cut flowers, while the nuts of Macadamia integrifolia are widely grown commercially and consumed. Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity.
Etymology
The name ‘‘‘Proteaceae’’’ by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in 1789 was based on the genus ‘‘Protea’’, which in 1767 Carl Linnaeus derived from the name of the Greek god Proteus, a deity that was able to change between many forms. This is an appropriate image, seeing as the family is known for its astonishing variety and diversity of flowers and leaves.

All About You
by: BratzYou've got style looking so sharp
Rocking hot smile you're gonna go far
Believe in yourself
You don't need to be who you're not
All that you need is all that you've got
Just believe in yourself
You should know what you are
Money can't buy
'Cause you should know
It's all about you
It's not about the money you make
It's not about the little mistakes
It's not about the people you know
You'll be fine on your own
It's not about the clothes that you wear
It's not about the car, I swear
It's the little things you say and you do
It's all about you, it's all about you
Have fun in all that you do
Listen to your heart, it's always so true
We believe in you
You can't stop, reach for the stars
Time will tell, tell people who you are
We believe in you
You should know what you are
Money can't buy
You should know

It's the little things you say and you do
It's all about you, it's all about you
If things are spinning around
We'll pick you up when you're down
You don't have to worry my friend
You should know it's all about you
It's not about the people you know
It's not about the seats at the show
It's not about the places you go
It's not about the money you make
