A solid black dot indicates where the species is found. Leucadendron salignum - Common Sunshine Conebush
is the only multi-stemmed Conebush with silvery (hairy!) cones on the Peninsula.
Ld sgnm is the most widespread and common member of the Protea Family in the Cape. On
the Peninsula it plays second fiddle to the Sickle-leaf Conebush. Some 40-per cent of

Curiously, it appears to be absent from the tops of Table Mountain and Muizenberg Hill,
and the central plateau of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. It is the southernmost
Conebush on the Cape Peninsula |
