| This plant’s name comes from the latin concinnus, meaning neat or trim, from its compact and attractive habit. It was described in 1969 by South African botanists R. Allen Dyer and Inez Verdoon. E. concinnus’ habitat is scattered and sporadic, in small populations in southern Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, in woodland or grassland on cliffs and rocky hills. It grows to a trunk height of 10 feet tall, with Leaves 5-8 ft. long, colored bright green, semiglossy, with its lanceolate leaflets flat in section, inserted at 180° on the leaf, not overlapping or lobed, Historically, the lack of access to this plant and its seeds have made it a very rare plant in cultivation. WHAT IS CAUDEX SIZE? You’ll notice we list and price cycads by caudex size. The caudex is a cycad’s woody, bulblike trunk, and caudex size is a good measure of cycad age. The chart below can give you a rough idea of how this translates to pot size.
