Encephalartos cerinus was described in 1989. Only two small colonies of this species were ever found. Unfortunately, these colonies no longer exist, and now Encephalartos cerinus is only found in botanical gardens, private gardens, and nurseries. The Encephalartos cerinus we grow are propagated from second-generation nursery plants.
