Morphological Summary
Monotypic genus of cycads endemic to southern Africa, the sole representative of the family Stangeriaceae. Its appearance is unusual for a cycad: its pinnate leaves resemble a fern rather than the rigid leaves of most cycads. It is considered the most threatened cycad in southern Africa due to overcollection for traditional Zulu medicine (muthi).
Distribution South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape)
Conservation Vulnerable; overcollected for traditional medicine
