An erect, rounded, much branched shrub, 0.5-1.0 m in height, with a single main stem at base. Flowering stems 5.0-6.0 mm in diam., covered with a densely villous cinereous indumentum. Leaves broadly cuneate to very broadly obovate, 5.0-8.5 cm long, 2.0-6.5 cm wide, subsessile to scarcely petiolate; glabrous, or canescent with a dense indumentum of fine crisped hairs; margin incised at apex with 7-17 teeth. Inflorescences turbinate, 2.0-4.0 cm long, 1.0-2.0 cm wide; in clusters, 3-10 nate; pedunculate, peduncle 1.0-1.5 cm long. Involucral receptacle flattened, 6.0-7.0 mm wide. Involucral bracts lanceolate acute to ovate acute, 5.0-7.0 mm long, 3.0-5.0 mm wide, imbricate, cartilaginous, densely velutinous, the apex slightly recurved and thickened. Bracteoles rectangular-obtrullate, 5.0 mm long, 2.0 mm wide, cartilaginous, thickly tomentose, apex recurved. Perianth 6.0-8.0 mm long, yellow at anthesis, tube dull carmine. Perianth tube 8.0-0.0 mm long, cylindric, inflated and puberulous distally, narrowed and glabrous proximally. Perianth claws filiform, hispidulous, equally recurved subterminally, pale yellow aging to orange. Perianth limbs elliptic to lanceolate acute, 1.5 mm long, pale green. Style filiform, straight, 2.5-2.8 cm long, pale yellow. Pollen presenter filiform, cylindric-obtuse, 0.5-1.0 mm long, scarcely differentiated from the style; stigmatic groove terminal. Hypogynous scales filiform, obtuse, 2.0-2.5 mm long, hyaline. Flowering takes place from July to November. From: Rourke, JP. 1972. Taxonomic studies on Leucospermum R.Br. J. S. African Bot.: 1-194.

Like L. oleifolium but leaves broadly ovate to cuneate, with 7-17 teeth and flower heads 10-20 mm diam. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2012. Proteaceae.

The cuneate to very broadly obovate leaves, 7-17 toothed at the apex, distinguish L. mundii from all other species in the section Crinitae. From: Rourke, JP. 1972. Taxonomic studies on Leucospermum R.Br. J. S. African Bot.: 1-194. [CC BY]
This species appears to be restricted to the northern slopes of cool, south west facing kloofs at elevations of 305-914 m Although a mean annual rainfall of 25-40' is experienced, well drained slopes on Table Mountain Sandstone are preferred. The small, very local populations usually grow in association with dense fynbos, consisting mainly of Restionaceae, Leucadendron eucalyptifolium, Protea eximia and P. neriifolia. From: Rourke, JP. 1972. Taxonomic studies on Leucospermum R.Br. J. S. African Bot.: 1-194. [CC BY]

L. mundii is confined to the Langeberg range where it has been recorded from a few localities only, between Goedgeloof Peak, Swellendam and Garcia's Pass, Riversdale. From: Rourke, JP. 1972. Taxonomic studies on Leucospermum R.Br. J. S. African Bot.: 1-194. [CC BY]
