Hi Milky, Leucospernum is part of the fynbos Proteace family that falls in the Cape Floral Kingdom. As a genus they extend from the west coast of South Africa on the Atlantic Ocean to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape, approximately 700km east of Cape Town and are located mainly in the mountainous region and on the coastal flats.
