Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes
The genus Protea was named in 1735 by Carl Linnaeus after the Greek god Proteus, who could change his form at will, because proteas have such a wide variety of forms. Linnaeus's genus was formed by merging a number of genera previously published by Herman Boerhaave, although precisely which of Boerhaave's genera were included in Linnaeus's Protea varied with each of Linnaeus's publications.

Get the protest mug.The Protester Class is a class of people above the middle class but below the upper class. While most middle and lower class people need to hold down a steady job to pay their bills, the Protester Class doesn't have that burden and are therefore free to spend their days protesting and evenings rioting and/or looting. Though being an elite class of people, the Protester Class is much more diverse than other top classes. It is not uncommon to observe rich college students "protesting" arm in arm with hardened felons and psychopathic anarchists.
