Diagnostic description

Typical L. lanigerum is very closely related to L. modestum Williams and L. lanigerum var. laevigatum Meisn. but it differs in having a large persistent rootstock with several stems arising therefrom. L. modestum is a somewhat smaller shrub usually found in dense stands. In L. lanigerum var. laevigatum the leaves are more smooth and the habit more erect. From: Williams, IJM. 1972. A revision of the genus Leucadendron (Proteaceae). Contr. Bolus Herb. 3: 1-425. [All rights reserved]

Habitat

Prefers a hard clayish soil derived from Cape granite or Malmesbury shale. After fires regeneration takes place from the persistent rootstock as well as from seed. From: Williams, IJM. 1972. A revision of the genus Leucadendron (Proteaceae). Contr. Bolus Herb. 3: 1-425. [All rights reserved]

Distribution

Found at fairly low altitudes on the South Western coastal plain from Faure to Darling. From: Williams, IJM. 1972. A revision of the genus Leucadendron (Proteaceae). Contr. Bolus Herb. 3: 1-425. [All rights reserved]
