He gave it the name Leucadendron apiifolium, but never officially described it.

All Leucadendron thrive best in full sun.

Other Leucadendron grown in small numbers can be found under the Specialist Lines section.

Plants such as the Oil bract conebush, a species of Leucadendron, may be found.

The seed heads, or infructescences, of Leucadendron are woody cone-like structures.

This is particularly important for certain Protea and Leucadendron species that develop leaf blackening.

(higher pericarp to embryo ratios) retained more water than the Leucadendron spp.

Leucadendron flower every year.

Species in the genus Leucadendron are small trees or shrubs that are erect or creeping.

Leucadendron levisanus (Cape flats conebush)

Several hundred plant species have been identified here, including the striking Silvertree (Leucadendron argenteum) and Erica phylicaefolia.

Leucadendron grandiflorum (Wynberg conebush)

A few such as the Silvertree, Leucadendron argenteum have a silky-haired parachute, enabling the large round nut to be dispersed by wind.

In the colluvial sands both Protea spp. showed less scattered emergence than the Leucadendron spp.

Leucadendron grandiflorum (The Wynberg Conebush, a tall protea that is now extinct)

Proteaceae: Leucadendron album (Thunb.)

Plants such as the Oil bract conebush, a species of Leucadendron, may be found.

One local species, the Wynberg Conebush, is now extinct.

Leucadendron strobilinum (Peninsula conebush)

Leucadendron grandiflorum (Wynberg conebush)

Leucadendron macowanii (acacia-leaf conebush)

Leucadendron levisanus (Cape Flats conebush)

Leucadendron grandiflorum (The Wynberg Conebush, a tall protea that is now extinct)

Commonly known as the 'Oilbract Conebush' because of the brown, sticky, oily bracts found on both sexes when in bud, a feature setting it apart from other Leucadendron species.
