Black cabbage tree (Melanodendron integrifolium) is one of the endemic trees in the Asteraceae family from the island of St Helena (South Atlantic Ocean). It is related to the St Helenan gumwoods (Commidendrum spp.) and is the commonest of the remaining cabbage tree species of St Helena, although it is considered endangered due to the restricted population size.
