Cycas panzhihuaensis

A cycad from the hot, dry valleys of the upper Yangtze (Jinsha) system in Sichuan and Yunnan. It is one of the most cold- and drought-tolerant Cycas, wanting full sun, sharp drainage and a dry winter, and is Vulnerable in the wild.

Where it grows wild

Grows on dry, open slopes in savanna-like scrub of the dry-hot river valleys, often on rocky or limestone ground, in full sun.

Records lack elevations; the climate sites run from about 1080 to 1990 m, mostly near 1600 m around Panzhihua.
