From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He cabbage tree (Pladaroxylon leucadendron) is one of three cabbage tree species from the island of St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean, where it is endangered. It is a small tree in the Asteraceae family. It is called "he cabbage tree" as the young leaves are hairy, in contrast to the hairless leaves of the she cabbage tree.
