    The olive-green leaves of Leucospermum prostratum are borne erectly. They are hairy with one pointed, often reddish tooth at each leaf tip. This tooth may be glandular. The literature is not consistent about the presence of such teeth on leaf tips of this species.

    The leaves have no petioles or stipules.

    Leaves become up to 4 cm long and 0,6 cm wide (Privett and Lutzeyer, 2010; Bean and Johns, 2005; Wikipedia).
