Encephalartos is a genus of cycad native to Africa. Several species of Encephalartos are commonly referred to as bread trees , [ 2 ] bread palms [ 3 ] or kaffir bread , [ 4 ] since a bread-like starchy food can be prepared from the centre of the stem.
This species is known to form fertile hybrids with E. natalensis, and a backcrossing technique can be used: if each offspring is subsequently crossed with E. woodii and the process is then repeated, after several generations, female offspring will be closer to what a female Encephalartos woodii would be like.
