Wood’s Cycad (Encephalartos woodii) is a cycad in the genus Encephalartos and is endemic to the Ongoye Forest of KwaZulu-Natal South Africa. It is one of the rarest plants in the world being extinct in the wild with all specimens being clones of the type. The specific and common name both honour John Medley Wood curator of the Durban Botanic Garden and director of the Natal Government Herbarium of South Africa who discovered the plant in 1895.
