This rare and almost extinct miniature cycad is from a single cliff in the KwaZulu-Natal district of South Africa. It is estimated there are about fifty plants remaining in the wild. It has blue-green leaves covered with a waxy substance that has a unique smell. The mature size of this cycad is small with caudexes under a foot and leaves under three feet long. It is a sun loving species and is cold hardy to the low 20’s F. It never takes up much room.
