===Observations: === After a nine hour walk into the mountains we were stunned to find a single male plant of ''E. delucanus'' consisting of over 200 caudices in a huge clump measuring four metres in diameter. A search of cycad literature revealed the largest previously discovered cycad clump was the previously discovered clump of ''[[Encephalartos schmitzii]]'' found in Zambia that consisted of over 50 caudices and over one metre in diameter. This male plant of ''E. delucanus'' may be the largest ever discovered. Its age must be staggering! The species is exceptionally beautiful and very hardy.
