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.
