Between the towns of Gravelotte and Phalaborwa in Limpopo Province, on an outcrop of low granite hills, grows a species of African cycad that is to be found nowhere else on the planet.

On the regulated market, as evidence of the extinction threat, a juvenile plant will set you back around R210,000.
