Mimetes, the pagoda, is a genus of evergreen shrubs or small trees 0.5–6 m (1.6–19.7 ft) high, with thirteen species assigned to the family Proteaceae. This genus, as with other proteas, is popular with nectarivorous birds such as the Cape sugarbird and several sunbird species.
Mimetes cucullatus is known as common pagoda, red pagoda, common mimetes or red mimetes in English, and rooistompie, or just stompie in Afrikaans. The species name cucullātus is Latin, means "hooded" and refers to the hood-like shape of the leaf that actually subtends the flower head higher up the stem. The name in Afrikaans "stompie" means stump.
The cryptic pagoda can be distinguished from other Mimetes species by its small size, the two types of shoots, one unbranched upright, the other occasionally forking and sprawling, the leaves that stand out on the lower parts but are very tightly overlapping near the inflorescence and the relatively short (3½ cm), straight, line- to awl-shaped styles.
Mimetes hirtus is variously known as marsh pagoda, tall pagoda, red and yellow bottlebrush, hairy mimetes, or pineapple bush in English and vleistompie or pynappelstompie in Afrikaans. The species name hirtus is a Latin word meaning roughly hairy, because its hairiness contrasts with the glabrous species M. cucullatus .
