The He Cabbage Tree (Pladaroxylon leucadendron) is one of three cabbage tree species from the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean, where it is endangered. It is a small tree in the Asteraceae family. It is called the "He Cabbage Tree" as the young leaves are hairy, in contrast to the hairless leaves of the She Cabbage Tree.
