Paranomus tomentosus, the hairy-leaf tree sceptre, is a flower-bearing shrub that belongs to the genus Paranomus and forms part of the fynbos. The plant is native to the Western Cape, South Africa.
The shrub grows up to 3 m (9.8 ft) tall and is the largest species of the genus. The tree blooms from September to November. Fire destroys the plant but the seeds survive. The plant is bisexual and pollinated by insects. The fruit ripens two months after flowering, and the seeds fall to the ground where they are spread by ants.
In Afrikaans, it is known as Harige septerboom. The shrub's national number is 72.5.[2]
