Venir admirer la rare floraison de la non moins rare "Encephalartos Altensteinii" amoureusement soignée par les jardiniers de la ville de #CherbourgEnCotentin, c'est aussi faire un vertigineux voyage dans le passé car l'espèce actuelle est proche de celle ayant côtoyé les https://t.co/c4mgH6HvFc
Here is one of a handful of specimen of this Cycad collected in the mid 1700s, which have the distinction of being the oldest known potted plants. Encephalartos altensteinii - eastern cape giant cycad (Cycadaceae) 34/365 #iamabotanist https://t.co/bpQ3zDPLio
Just catching up on my recording I was reminded of this. Meet the oldest pot plant in the world. The Eastern Cape giant cycad (Encephalartos altensteinii) it arrived at Kew in 1775. That’s remarkable when you think about it. It was brought back to Kew by botanist Francis Masson https://t.co/PMC1EUR3KZ
@AskGregory @b03sm4n Both are Encephalartos (SA Cycad). I would guess first pic is young plant (under 9 years old before developed stem). I would guess altensteinii from the teeth. But could be many including even younger natalensis. The other may be a ferox. But it’s drooping. Needs bigger pot.
