Encephalartos aplanatus

Encephalartos aplanatus is a shade-loving cycad that closely resembles E. villosus. The leaflets of E. aplanatus, however, tend to be wider than those of E. villosus and the two species are also geographically separated. E. aplanatus is easy to grow but is not common in cultivation. Description This species usually has a single subterranean stem with an exposed apex. Unlike E. villosus, E. aplanatus does not sucker. More
