Bowenia species

Bowenia are rare cycads native to Australia. Bowenia serrulata and Bowenia spectabilis are the two cycad plant species in this genus. The Bowenia habitat is in coastal Queensland, occasionally growing on the Atherton Tablelands. Bowenia is named for Sir George F. Bowen (1821-1899), governor of Queensland when these rare cycads were first described.

These rare plants are noted for their leaves, which are bipinnate and, occasionally in the case of Bowenia serrulata, even tripinnate.

Currently these plants are available for sale in the USA only.
