E. lanatus
| Encephalartos lanatus, also known as the Olifants River Cycad or the Woolly Cycad, occurs in the upper catchment area of the Olifants River in the Middelburg, Witbank and Bronkhorstspruit districts of the Gauteng and Mpumalanga provinces in South Africa. It also occurs along the Little Olifants and Wilge rivers in this area. It is normally a medium-sized, single-stemmed plant about 1–1,5 m high. In the garden, it enjoys a position in full sun and is a strong architectural plant that makes a good focal point. E. lanatus is frost-hardy, fire-adapted and drought-resistant. It is a small, slow-growing tree with stems usually about 1,5 -2,5m long and 25–30 cm in | ||
