Cycas taiwaniana
Also called Prince Sago Palm
Cycas taiwaniana, known as Prince Sago Palm, is a cycad shrub native to southern China, where it grows in wet tropical to subtropical forest. Grow it in bright light with well-drained soil and protect it from frost.
Cycas taiwaniana is a species of plant in the genus Cycas. The species is native to Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in China. Although the specific epithet, taiwaniana, is derived from Taiwan, where the original type specimens were found, it is not naturally distributed in Taiwan. Instead of C. taiwaniana, the original type specimens used for describing C. taiwaniana, had been reclassified under another species, Cycas taitungensis.
