''Encephalartos altensteinii'' is a palm-like cycad in the family Zamiaceae. It is endemic to South Africa. The species name ''altensteinii'' commemorates Altenstein, a 19th-century German chancellor and patron of science.〔(The Gymnosperm Database. )〕 It is commonly known as the breadtree, broodboom, eastern Cape giant cycad or uJobane (Zulu).〔Palmer, E. and Pitman, N. ''Trees of Southern Africa''. Cape Town (1972).〕 It is listed as vulnerable due to habitat destruction, use for traditional medicine and removal by collectors.〔(IUCN Red List )〕 ==Description== This cycad grows up to seven metres tall and may be branched or unbranched. The leaves are straight or curved backwards and up to three metres in length. The leaflets are rigid and fairly broad with one or both margins toothed. There are no prickles at the base of the leaf which distinguishes it from ''E. natalensis''. There are usually two to five greenish-yellow cones up to fifty centimetres long, the female scales covered with protuberances. The cones are poisonous to humans.〔(Deneys Reitz. Commando: A Boer Journal Of The Boer War ), chapter 22, "Moss-Troopers", first published by Faber and Faber in Great Britain in 1929, ISBN 0-571-08778-7〕 The seeds are scarlet and up to four centimetres long.〔
