| Abstract: | Encephalartos mackenziei Newton is described as a new cycad species occurring in south-east Sudan. It is characterized by its branching at the base to produce up to ten trunks per plant and by its broad leaflets, as well as some details of the cone scales. The population is large and widespread, and the presence of small seedlings indicates successful regeneration. © The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 140 , 187–192. |
