Cycas longipetiolula

A Chinese Cycas described by D.Y. Wang in 1996 and treated by GBIF as a hybrid (Cycas ×longipetiolula), known from a single wild record in south-central China. The measured site has a hot wet summer and a cool, dry winter, so grow it in strong light with a dry, cooler winter rest.
