Cycas brachycantha

Cycas brachycantha is a rare and elegant cycad admired for its refined symmetry and compact habit. It forms a short, sturdy trunk crowned by a neat rosette of arching, glossy fronds. Each leaf carries stiff, narrow leaflets arranged in a precise rhythm. The plant presents a clean and balanced silhouette. Therefore it fits beautifully in collectors’ gardens and minimalist landscapes.

The foliage of Cycas brachycantha displays a rich deep green tone with a smooth, leathery texture. The leaflets feel firm and slightly curved, giving movement to the crown. However the overall form remains compact and controlled. This contrast between softness and structure creates a refined architectural effect. Gardeners value its orderly growth and calm, sculptural presence.
