Leucospermum conocarpodendron by andrachne
Flower heads are spherical , 70-90 mm in diameter . Borne in groups of up to three, occasionally singly. The flower head is partly enclosed by the uppermost leaves on the stem. Leucospermum is named from the Greek, leukos, meaning white, and sperma, seed, referring to the white or light-coloured seeds of many species. The species name conocarpodendron is a combination of three Greek words: konos, a cone; karpos, a fruit; and dendron, meaning cone-fruited tree or tree with fruits in a cone.
