Since cacti enthusiasts are almost always interested in cycads too, here’s a picture of my South African collection. All four are of the genus Encephalartos. From right to left, they are E. Horridus, E. Lehmanii, E. Trispinosus, and E. Arenarius. They are extremely slow growing plants, and are indigenous to the coastal areas of South Africa and Mozambique.

Here are three specimens of Encephalartos Woodii, taken at the Lotusland Botanical Garden in Santa Barbara, California. This is the rarest plant in the world. Only one specimen of this plant has ever been found. It was discovered in the Natal region of Mozambique in 1895, and was named in honor of H. Medley Wood, the governor of the Natal Herbarium. That specimen is now 30 feet tall and is currently located in the Durban Botanical Garden in Pretoria, South Africa. All specimens in existence were propagated from basal suckers from that plant.

If you’re ever in Southern California, you have got to check out Lotusland. It has the largest public collection of cycads in the United States, and the second largest in the world. (The first is a botanical garden located at the University of Milan). It also has a massive collection of cacti, euphorbias, aloes, and bromeliads, among other things. It’s just an incredible place.
