Look for the The Singular Cycad Location: Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens It is one of the rarest and most highly prized plants in the world, and can be found in the Cycad dell at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. John Medley Wood discovered the plant in the oNgoye Forest in KwaZulu-Natal, where it was later identified as a new species and named after him in 1908. When Wood discovered the plant, it was part of a clump made up of four trunks. Deputy James Wylie, sent by Wood in 1907, returned to the forest to collect two of the larger trunks, which still grow in the Durban Botanical Gardens. 5 years later, an excursion through the forest resulted in finding only one three-meter tall trunk left in the wild, which died in 1964. Searches through the oNgoye Forest have resulted in no other plants being found. Due to this, the Wood’s Cycad is considered to be extinct in the wild.

Acclaimed as one of the great botanical gardens of the world, Kirstenbosch is a must see. Go see the Boomslang canapy walkway, get a bit lost, take a picnic and so much more. Don't miss the summer concerts on Sunday evenings (usually Nov-March) which is a MUST DO!!
