===Common Names:===
Albany Cycad

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Rocky slopes in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.

===Description:===
A medium sized clumping cycad to about 3m tall,
forming clumps of up to 8 stems. Leaves are bright green and glossy,
and up to 1.5m long.

===General:===
An extremely desirable plant to collectors, with the result that poaching
has reduced the wild population to such an extent that fertilisation no
longer occurs, and hence seeds are no longer produced. Apparantly the
last time a wild ''E. latifrons''
seeded was in 1925.

===Culture:===
An easy but very slow grower, liking a sunny spot in a well drained position.
