Leucadendron pondoense, the Pondoland conebush, is a flower-bearing shrub that belongs to the genus Leucadendron and forms part of the fynbos.

The plant is native to the Eastern Cape where it occurs in the Pondoland from Port St. Johns to Port Edward.

The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant and fall to the ground after a fire, possibly spreading by the wind.
