Wynberg Conebush - Leucadendron grandiflorum


The Wynberg Conebush is extinct. It is distinguised from Grabouw Conebush - Leucadendron globosum by its pale green, smaller, twisted leaves, an unpleasant odour and smaller male flowerheads, bracts and flowers.

It is only known from a drawing of an abnormally lanky plant grown in Europe.
