Encephalartos woodii Sander
Encephalartos woodii, Wood's Cycad 
(From the oNgoye Forest of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa)

https://www.cycadlist.org/taxon.php?Taxon_ID=361#gallery
It is one of the rarest plants in the world, being extinct in the wild with all specimens being clones of the type. Like all Cycads, Encephalartos woodii is dioecious, meaning it has separate male and female plants; however, no female plant has ever been discovered since 1895 when first found in the oNgoye Forest of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, by John Medley Wood, who was the curator of the Durban Botanic Gardens and director of the Natal Government Herbarium of South Africa.

Wood's Cycad - Encephalartos woodii has been listed as "Extinct in the Wild" when assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2020.

1907 photo text:
Two of the remaining stems of Encephalartos woodii at oNgoye Forest. The smaller one on the right is presumably the one which was collected in 1916 to be moved to Pretoria as James Wylie said when returning from the 1907 expedition that the larger of the two stems that were left behind was badly mutilated and he did not expect it to survive (see damaged stem on the left of the picture). Photo created early 1900's (probably between 1907 and 1912 - By 1912 there was only one 3 meter tall trunk left in the wild)
