Encephalartos Woodii Clone 'Kew-02'

Genomic ID Match: CM-CY833-K02

Genetic & Physical Provenance Log

The Encephalartos Woodii clone 'Kew-02' represents one of the most biologically significant cycads on earth. With the wild parent species functionally extinct since the early 20th century, all living specimens are direct vegetative offsets of the single male specimen found in the Ngoye Forest of South Africa.

Because this species is extremely slow-growing and strictly protected, cloning and physical custody chains require maximum scrutiny. This specific individual was propagated under direct greenhouse authorization from the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens collections, with physical custody transferred under rigorous CITES Article VII tracking.
