L. lanigerum var. laevigatum is very closely related to L. lanigerum Meisn. from Malmesbury and Paarl divisions but differs in having a single stem at ground level, tall and not short, with longer leaves that are somewhat mor smooth and less hairy. It is a very much larger shrub than L. modestum Williams from the Caledon and Bredasdorp divisions. Red flowers ar occasionally found in in var. laevigatum, but never in typical L. lanigerum or i L. modestum. From: Williams, IJM. 1972. A revision of the genus Leucadendron (Proteaceae). Contr.
