===Description:=== A small to medium sized clumping cycad to about 1.5m (5 feet) tall (but usually much less), and a diameter of about 25cm (1 foot). It can form clusters of up to 10 stems. It has dull blue-green leaves from between 60cm to 1m long (2-3 feet), with the petioles being bare for the first 10cm to 20cm (5-10 ins). The leaf stalk is usually slightly spiraled, which gives the leaf a characteristic twist. The young leaves are covered in a fine white wool but this is lost with age. The dead leaf stalks remain on the plant for several months and hang around the stem. Similar in appearance to both ''[[Encephalartos ghellinckii]]'' and ''[[Encephalartos friderici-guilielmi]]''
