Leucadendron xanthoconus is a species of plant in the family Proteaceae native to South Africa. It is a 1–2 m shrub that is quite common and dominant in regions of South Africa, specifically in mountain fynbos in the south-western Cape. The species is serotinous, meaning it accumulates seeds into woody cones for 2-3 years, which are then released all together after burning, ultimately killing the plant. Seeds released during the inter-fire interval, which is between 10 and 20 years, do not form persistent seedbanks in the soil, making inter-fire recruitment insignificant. The species grows at a fast rate with the appropriate conditions and the necessary nutrients and water during the first six months. Its productivity is positively impacted by an increase in water, but can be impacted by droughts as the overall weight of the leaves and roots is reduced.
