===General:=== Famous for being one of the rarest plants in the world, extinct in the wild, and also for not being able to produce seeds. The only plants ever found were males, and hence in the absence of females, no pure woodii seeds can be produced. However, many people are crossing it with ''[[Encephalartos natalensis]]'', (its closest relative), and then back crossing the offspring with ''E. woodii'', so that after 3 or generations, you have almost pure ''E. woodii'' again. It produces offsets, or "pups" very freely however, so there are several hundred plants of ''E. woodii'' now being grown around the world.
